Rattly Door Window

[Pied Piper]

Still loving the car.

The drivers window rattles like mad and feels really loose in any position apart from when closed.

Is this an easy DIY fix ?

mines(S1)loose and rattles. Has done since i got it. I took the door apart one day to find that the previous owner had removed the rubber/felt vertical runner (towards the front of the car) that the window slides up and down in. A common fault and solution appartently. Something to do with the window not doing up properly when doors shut!? Its all a bit tight inside the door so I opted to put up with it the way it is!!

I had the same problem and it was that one of the three screws holding the glass on the lower rail didn't have the nut.

Screwed on a new Nyloc nut on the existing bolt and presto! no more rattle.

I had the car from new so this was like this from factory. There you go !

This can also be a sign that the window's about to part company with the runner and hide from you permanently inside the door.

Have the door card off and see if it's all secure in there. You'll have to peel back the plastic inner (laugh at Lotus build quality while you're at it) but you can see everything with a bit of jiggery pokery.
