Windows rattling?

[lynxnova]

What's up my fello hoes and kons, I own a 2010 tahoe LT and all my windows are lose and rattle, even my back window... I've taken it to get checked and tighten up the regulators but when they are halfway down or all the way down they are extremely lose and rattle to the point where I just keep them closed all the time.... has anyone experience this and how can I fix the problem.... even my back lift gate window rattle...smh..help...

It's a standard feature of these trucks these years. Mine does it too

Wow... I can't believe that... I mean, I can literally move my window with my hand with ease....I think it's time for me to sell my tahoe and think about an upgrade to the 2015... unless they have the same issue

Wow that's crazy. Thought it was just me. I literally have to tell people to hold the door from slamming, just to avoid this near glass shattering sound.

You're saying the fronts and rears? Fronts have an extra channel that the tears don't to keep it from moving. You sure all the weatherstrip & beltmoldings are all good? I won't disagree about the rear windows. Single point of mounting for the regulator so it has tons of back and for slop when down. Never had an issue with the fronts though.

I would have to take a look on mine. I've never disassemble the panels before. The passenger side glass was replaced before I got the truck.

It's held in by a single 10mm toward the front of the door. Maybe 3.5" long.

The sound was so nerve rackin, that I replaced all weather strip and window regulators on all four windows (done by a window auto shop) and it still rattles alot.... I can move the window back and forth with my hand.. I never had a problem with my window when I had my 03 yukon..

If you're talking about the fronts - then something is not right because my fronts are as tight as can be, at any opening. Rears are only tight if they're closed.

 

[lynxnova]

Yes.. I'm talking about all my windows, especially the front.... I'm gonna have to see if another shop can give me another option

I've removed and installed a zillion of front door glass & regulators, belt moldings, glass channels, etc - never had any issues with the fronts being loose.

 

[lynxnova]

So aside from the regulators, what do you suggest I should do? What are belt moldings and glass channels?

Belt molding is the black piece on the outside of the vehicle at the base of the window. Glass channel is the extruded piece of aluminum that goes around the window opening in the door. Make sure all that jives together along with the weatherstrip at the base of the window on the inside of the door (under the door panel)

Did this fix the issue? Our 2014 Tahoe's windows rattle.

How are the window wiper seals? The ones with the window all the way down you should see them. They should press against the window as it goes up, thus keeping water from getting to the bottom of the door and rotting it out. There should be no gap at any time, window up or down. The wiper provides enough pressure against the window to keep it from rattling. The seal on the back lift window should protrude out a little to provide a seal against rattling and water. The older your ride the worst the seals get and should be changed. I've been Armor-alling my 2012 in hopes of keeping them supple enough to last a few more years. But nothing lasts forever! Hope that helps.

Thank you!! I'll have that checked! I have had water in the doors after a heavy rain too so that makes sense!
