Mine has that rattle and it's one of my last main ones and it makes me sick. Does anyone know how I can tighten up my windows they shake around a littel when I have them down.

a vibrating steering wheel is caused by a bad dogbone mount.
check it and if it is worn then replace it, it will reduce the vibration of ur steering wheel significantly

While what you're saying is true EE, mine is fine. I'm talking about a rattle when you hit big bumps
