Window rattle

Had make a long trip up to Michigan this week and noticed a rattle in my drivers side window. If I pushed on it at the top left corner it would stop. Anyone no a fix for this? The truck has almost 150k I guess some thing are starting to loosen up just not sure what it is.

Seems like the rattle is coming more from the window seal but I'll try that first. Thanks.

I have this exact same issue. Driver side Window rattles. I push the upper left corner and it stops. Any one else have this issue? And how did you fix it? My truck has 4,000 miles on it.

i get this a little bit on my 2011 - 94,000 miles.

Goes away if i open the window just a bit. That’s been my fix so far, but it’s not been bad enough to really bother much more with it.

I think I might try sticking a piece of foam backer rod in upper portion of the door where the window comes to rest when up. Should keep the window from rattling.

It does it in my '11 also, been doing it for as long as I've had the truck. It's one of those things where "I'll get to it this weekend". But I have not remembered about it one weekend yet in 6 years! One weekend...

Fixed the rattle. It was the window trim, gasket rattling in the wind. I just lowered the window, push the trim off, and applied 3m double sided outdoor industrial tape to the flange and reapplied the window gasket . Gotta love easy fixes. Name:  IMG_20171206_142656389.jpg

Size:  3.27 MBAmazing how quiet these trucks can be.. the picture only shows partially what I did. I wrapped as much of the flange as I could and I also put a narrow piece of double sided tape between the gasket and door where they rest against each other in the vertical on the outside. Just to the right of where I have it taped already in the pic.
