Never had any problems with the windows (unlike the door locks) but, yes, I have rattles when the windows are down. Its still rattle free when they're up.

The driver's side rattles just a little when shut in the down position. The passenger side - not at all. It's a Chevy. The C6 quality, at least as far as squeeks and rattles, is much better.

Here is a possible rattle fix. My '99 C5 convertible had a nasty rattle with windows down, driver’s side much worse than passenger. Fix was about an hour per door, most time required to remove door panels. Drivers side issue was the rubber sleeve on the post at the base of window regulator (behind stereo speaker). Passenger side fix was easier, window regulator nut (behind reflector) had loosened -- added Loctite and tightened nut, problem(s) solved!!!

My 2001 Convertible driver side window does rattle when I close it. Not a bad rattle, but noticable. When I park it in warm weather I lower the window about 2 inches. No rattle when it is not lowered. Does not bother me since I never slam the door. Not sure if the passenger side does it too, but except it will do it also.

I wouldnt say mine rattles, but my drivers side door does sound hollow (like a bang) but my pass side sounds like a clunk, niether sounds broken.

No rattles at all in my 98. The only noise I have in the car at all is a clip or something on the passenger side seatbelt that makes noise when I am going 50+ with the windows down.

Same symptom on my '02 Z.

Mine don't make noise, but I'm sure to have the windows up or most of the way down when the door closes....kind of like a pet peeve of mine to avoid having loose window regulator mechanisms. I never drive with the window only a little way down either, due to it having all that upper end weight shaking around and yanking on the mechanism inside the door, loosening things up. I either only crack them, or I go over 50% of the way down.

Yes...I'm compulsive bout avoiding rattling window regulator mechanisms. My C4 sounded like hell when you closed the door with the window partially or all the way down...sounded like junk. Never again...lol.
