Door glass loose?

[RichB]

The driver's door glass has started making a worrying knocking sound whenever I pull the door shut - which of course needs quite a slam. Sounds like the glass is hitting something hard and metallic. Anyone know of any common problems on Griff' doors - like the glass runner becoming loose inside the door or something? Rich...

Mine was just the same, horrible sound. Window down,take a look at the runner in door.Mine you could clearly see the rubber had moved down the ally channel so the glass was against the ally when the window was up. I just used sticky felt, seems ok so far.

Back runner presumably David? Did you consider taking the door trim off and replacing the rubber? Or is that what you meant? Rich...

Yeah back channel, i could reach with some long tweezers so i took the easy option. In fact i dont think taking the door cover off would of helped. I see a similar thread on Chimaera.
Edit to say only the final 5cm was with the sticky felt.

Hmm?! "They all do that, Sir"

Actually, do they all do that? Mine rattles at about the middle of its drop. I tend to solve the problem by rolling it right down (let's face it the cabin will have steamed up within three minutes if I don't - especially in the rain!).

Have not found it necessary to use a high degree of force to close the door securely though??? Is that the real problem?

MY glass in the passenber door use to rattle when shutting the door or driving with the LID off.

Found the rubber strip inside the bottom of the door,managed to slide it back down the ali guide with a metal coat hanger pushing the rubber down, with the window down,a bit fiddle-E but seems ok know.

I'm talking about a severe glass on metal noise that wasn't there a few weeks ago, not just a slight rattle. And yes when the roof is on I need a decent shove to shut the door because the rubber seals press the door outwards. It has never leaked though! R...
