Is your slider window noisy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I swapped a back sliding window from a junkyard chevy in my truck which had a non-slider.

I love the extra airflow but this thing rattles, I wish I checked it out more thoroughly. The slider has lots of play and it can be moved side to side.

Any suggestions?

its prolly missing some kind of weatherstrip.. See if you have an extra window felt from the top of a door panel and see if you can slip a cut off piece in the track to stop some of the rattle

Old Rusty C10 is right, it most likely is missing a piece of weatherstrip. My slider is just the opposite of yours, it's so tight that it's hard to open the window.

My latch rattles, but the glass is tight...

Yes sir I race a rmz250. I use to be a member at Rocky Hill but not any more. I've only been there like 3 times this year. I got in to a local club in Milford, CT so I've been racing there. I'll be over in NY in november for the arenacross.

Thanks guys, I will check out the weatherstripping.

Mine rattled like mad. I cut some little pieces of rubber and mounted on a rod which pushes into the window track. If i want to open the window i have to take it out but its not to hard to do.
