Rear Window Rattle

[rae661]

Ok, I know this is small stuff in comparison with adding blowers and major mods--but....The rear window rattles and is about to make me crazy!! It consisting says--Yea, it's a viper--but it's also a Dodge!! I hate it!! What can I do -- beside removing it, to get it quite again???

Thanks for the help

My rear hatch made a ping noise everytime I went over a bump. I re-adjusted the latch on the inside to pull it down and it stopped. I don't know if this is the same problem you are having.

Well if it making noise it's still attached! Put in Welcome to the Jungle and turn the volume control knob till it reads 25. Rattle won't be an issue.
Set inside the car and have someone turn the key on the window lock so you can see how much slop is in the keyway slot. See how well the tab locks in place. The slot could be sloppy. You might need to put a shim in. It will make some noise no matter how tight it fits. Hope this helps

Put some elctrical tape on the tabs that lock in the slots. Add more until noise is gone. Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

OK I guess I'll go with the electrical tape--sounds like a quick fix--I have tried the radio and the engine revs--and they both work--but when the wife gets in the car, the volume of both gets turned down and all I hear is the rattle--unfortuantely it's coming from both the passenger seat and the window---One I can tune out, but both!!!

Thanks for the help.
