    2022 ORP, 12K kms. Developed this rattle/wobble with the driver's power window when sliding the window down. Anyone else ran into this and is there an easy fix?

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    Thanks for the video. That helps us see the problem as you see it.

    Now then.... You probably have dirt/debris down in the window track.


    Try spraying some DRY silicone lubricant into the tracks where the windows slides up and down. Don't use wet silicone because it will attract dirt and aggravate the problem.

    I've seen it so bad that if the driver's door was open and you pushed the switch to make the window go down, the whole door would vibrate.

    Dry tracks stress regulators and motors. Also, when there is ice and snow on the windows, don't try to move them. If they won't move, then the auto down switch is still trying to make the window move down, even though your finger is off the switch. Scrape the window and keep the tracks lubricated and you will probably never have to replace a window regulator or motor.

    Also, try spraying silicone on the weather stripping, especially the ones at the bottom, inside and outside strips. It won’t hurt the glass, and is a really quick thing to try.
