R33 Rattling windows

[400HP]

Hi,

When i first got the car the problem wasn't that apparent but now after a while its gotten worse and worse. It used to only happen when the window was partially or fully down but now occurs when the window is up.

This could be a bit of a noob qestion but are there bolts and stuff to tighten and grease the window bearings or whatever?

Cheers

You have to take your door trim off, and you will see where the bolts are to adjust it! Basically there a re a few bolts down the bottom that hold the window in. Check if they are loose, and if they are, then tighten them.

Next

At the top of the door, and in the middle, there are some bolts holding a couple of rails that guide the window as it goes up and down. Adjust them so that the window leans more into the interior than it does now (you will know what I mean when you see it). Dont do it too much though, just a bit, and test it out. If it needs more, do it again, but do it in small increments, b/c if you do it too much the first time, you can break the window when you close it...

I had the same problem with my car(used to rattle like crazy when i sut the door with a half open window), but I solved my problem this way.

Interesting... my driverside door has afew rattles when i shut it but my window is actually broken (motor busted i think - known R33 issue), i might take the trim off -again- and check out those bolts. (I've seen em but just didnt think that this could be the problem).

AFter removing the door trim last nite and having a look at the bolts for the windows we fuond there were two main areas to adjust as Zahos said.

Along the bottom middle and top there are a few bolts that simply hold the window in and also hold the frame that moves the window. These can be tightened slightly and it seemed to fix the problem.

Along the top there are two other bolts which can slide up and down and guide the windows movement. These are adjustable however we didn't adjust them.

I'll try post pics tonite.
