Unhappy Play in my driver's side front window

Hey Guys,

I performed a search for something relating to this but all I found was the wind noise tsb.

When i put my window down, the window rocks forward. I noticed it more once I got my windows tinted. You can see where the tint shop stopped tiniting the windows. I can rock the window back to it's normal position when the window is up.

Once I rock the window back into place, I can no longer see the end of the tint and the very subtle wind noise I had disappears.

Does anyone's GS suffer from this as well?

If so, how did you fix the issue? I tried taking the panel off to see if I could see the problem. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Fernando

I had the same problem with my drivers side window and noticed like you that my tint line had moved over and looked mis aligned not to mention the glass had some play. The culprit is your window rubber seal needs to be replaced. The dealer replaced mine under warranty. Apparantly this is a part that wears over time.

Good Luck

Thanks for the reply.

Now here is a dumb question, the rubber seal on the outside needs to be replaced? I see you had yours replaced under warranty, but do you know if this is an easy job fora diy?

This has been driving me nuts.

Thanks,
Fernando

I believe it was pretty easy bcos the mechanic replaced it in 15min. I was amazed how quickly he replaced the part. Im not sure and did not ask what all it involved.

if it's the part called window runner that the glass actually seals against, I had mine replaced under warranty for wind noise. I have the receipt with part numbers if you need it.
