Golf V R32 :: Rattle Only When Window Is Up 100%
Nov 2, 2011
Had the mechatronics recall completed and at the same time i thought i'd fix a few other things. one is the rattling sound inside the driver's side door when the window is closed 100%. it sounds as if the window regulator is loose and moves around only when the window is up and i go over some uneven pavement. when i open the window even 1/4 of an inch, sound is gone.
The stealership tech "tested the situation and confirms" that i need a new B-PILLAR to remedy the situation. What the heck a B-PILLAR is? This particular part had to be ordered; so, i have to go back one more time. i'll keep you posted as i know more than one person had this particular noise.
With regards to the mechatronics replacement, I really don't notice a big difference. I didn't have any apparent symptoms of a bad unit, but I thought, I better have the work done before the warranty was up. I'll try driving the car a bit harder to see if i can feel a difference.

I have a 2008 2.0t 6mt. A few months ago I started hearing a rattle coming from either the area under the rear window or in the trunk coming from the right side. It's not just a little rattle like a screw is loose... It sounds like a large hunk of metal or plastic is flopping back and forth. It's most noticeable at low speeds on rough roads and I think it's gotten louder over time. I recently moved to Richmond VA and the roads here are horrendous. It's not a faint noise either. Each time I drive with somebody new, its the first thing they notice. Folding the rear seats down definitely makes the rattle louder. I can sorta reproduce the sound when I rock the car back and forth.

So I've been noticing some issues with my 2011 GTI with only 1800 miles. I had some weird drive by wire issues, like the motor holding its RPMs with the clutch in for excessive time, a start up and idle issue (TPS?), my passenger window is very slow (heard that this is common), and now my driver window hesitates and pauses when rolling it down... ERR!
And yes I will take it to the dealer, its just that I live 100 plus miles away.

I just noticed I'm getting a rattle from the power window panel on the driver door when the bass kicks in with the mark levinson system.

I have a new C, there's less than 1k miles on it, and I'm finding that when the driver's side window is down about 2 inches, it rattles quite a lot. Farther down (half way) it doesn't rattle.
Also something odd: when the window is all the way down, the door itself expands inward.

About a month ago, I noticed my 2007 Mazda3 making a rattling noise whenever the front passenger window is anywhere from cracked to almost all the way down. When the window is up or all the way down, there is no noise. When the door is in it's "sound-prone" state, I can replicate the sound either by going over a bump or just pulling and pushing on the door interior door handle. I've looked this up online and it seems to be pointing toward me needing a new window regulator. I haven't noticed any function loss, just the rattling sound that makes it sound like the car's falling apart. Does this seem like the right thing to try? What would cause the regulator to malfunction after only four years? Should I buy new or look for it at the local salvage yards? If it matters, my Mazda3 has electric windows.

I searched over the forums, I only saw one post that was related to my rattle but without an answer.

For the past couple of days I have been hearing a window rattle. It is hard to figure out where the rattle is coming from, but my guess would be the hatchback door. It only occurs when I am driving on a rough terrain with a lot of bumps.

I've been recently very annoyed by a sound I can hear when driving between 5 and 40 mph. It sounds like the window or door seals/weatherstripping is repeatedly losing static friction to a shaking door or window. If I push forcefully outwards on the window the sound seems to be reduced.
I have about 22k miles on the card so far. I'm assuming I should go to a dealership, but I'm afraid some of them will dismiss the problem with some excuse or another.

Experience a rattle in the window up/down control area when any sort of bass lines come along in the song you're listening to? If I hold the left rear window switch in the up position, the rattle stops, but when I leave it alone, it comes right back! I'm the kind of person that goes nuts when something in the car rattles, so I gotta get it fixed!! A long shot, but is this something the warranty might cover?

Would be very interested in any fixes known for an annoying, recurring drivers side window/upper door frame rattle in my 2008 ES 350, occurs when going over bumps, uneven roads, or sometimes with just normal driving. Intermittent, but very common. Have had dealer address this and they replaced the "glass run" on that side, but rattle returned within a few days. Will try some silicon spray to dampen it, but seems like there is some flaw when the window is full up to door frame that produces this ticking rattle- can eliminate it by lowering the window an inch so that it does not insert into door frame.

My rear window sunscreen appears to be the source of an annoying thud like sound most evident driving around town. Less so on the highway.

My 2013 has developed a rattle. The rear window visor (outside) on passenger side is loose - or loosening up... and rattles a lot when driving, which is very annoying.... Took a quick look to see how this thing is held into place, not quite sure what's best way to take it apart...

I don't want to have the dash removed to fix the VIN plate rattle. I feel like this car is slowly falling apart.

I am wondering if VW ironed out some of the rattle problems on the '11 Gol/GTI? I am reading about some frustration with the B-pillar rattle in particular on the part of some '10 owners.
I may pull the trigger on an '11 GTI this morning ....

Get a rattling sound when in park and when it warms up after a little drive it goes away, When a gear is engaged the noise goes away. Pretty sure its the dmf but whats causing it.

Back in the day with my MK4 I was able to roll the windows up/ down etc with my key fob's lock/ unlock buttons when I installed a program I purchased from ECS.... Is anything like this available for the MKVI?

I was getting a low speed rattle and isolated it to the sunroof. Basically if I slightly lift it the rattle goes away.

I got a awful tinny rattle sound that comes on sporadically around 3k RPM. It tends to only do it at through a small RPM range (2750 - 3250 rpm approx) and when pressing the throttle 1/2 way down or more (but not when less). This sound is exacerbated when I had the flapper mod which is a large contributor to why i went back to stock.
I am thinking the sound is caused by a heat shield, but without getting underneath and having a second person blipping the throttle, its hard to diagnose. Are these cars known for rattling heat shields? Is there a particularly troublesome shield that I should look at first ?

I just got my R last Monday and have noticed a weird rattle coming from the exhaust. It only happens when I am driving. I can rev the engine when parked and the car sounds great. The rattle seems to happen when the car shifts and seems to happen less often if I've been driving for a little while. I did take it to VW they put it on a lift and checked everything underneath. I was told it might just go away but if not to come back and they will further check it out. What it might be?
