Rattling Windows

[wpitt]

With front windows partially down in my Badlands, they rattle so much that it sounds like they will break when going over bumps. Anyone else having this issue?

This is something that is known and has been discussed multiple times. It's an unwanted side effect of having frameless windows.

Having driven the Bronco for a while now, I highly doubt this will ever cause them to break. Maybe during a collision or jumping the Bronco could flex them enough to break.

Anyone who answers no on the survey is clueless and didn't understand the question or is trolling. Every Bronco will do this.

I find it amazing that everyone keeps saying that this is an issue because of having frameless windows. I’ve owned several Mustangs and two Shelby GT-500s and I cannot for the life of me remember having an issue with ANY of those vehicles. Is is NOT a frameless issue, it is an ENGINEERING and DESIGN issue that can be fixed.

Let’s not go with clueless. The question was asking if we noticed. I never have. I drive with the window closed or all the way open. Just partially down does not do anything for me and is usually noisy.
You seem to be trolling for a response by being an ass.

mine don't rattle... Gives a horrendous BANG when I go over a tippy bump

I have noticed rattling with the window down when going over bumps or even when driving in high wind.

I dont agree with the statement "this is a frameless window problem". My ATS coupe had frameless windows and did not do this. The windows were solid in all positions of operation. So it seems this a Bronco 6G design/engineering problem like others have said.

I never claimed it to be a problem that exists on all frameless windows designs. But I do believe the window on the Bronco would not rattle if it was framed.

Yeah, it's a bad design and should have be engineered correctly from the get go.

There's absolutely zero difference between these two responses, other than the usernames and the last sentence of the last quote lmao.

Not just a frameless or Bronco issue. My 2017 4Runner does this when the driver or passenger window is down about 2". Friends 2020 does the same. If you roll it down another inch or two the rattle goes away. Maybe the same in the Bronco?

Hi there! Send a private message to us with your VIN and the name & location of your Ford dealership, along with some more details about your situation. I’ll look into this for you. Thanks!

Just noticed mine doing it today when i had the window down about 2 inches. At first i didn't know what the noise was, but when it did it again i caught the window rattle as it happened. Pretty hard rattle at that!

My S2000 had frameless and they were fine.

i Wonder if somehow, easy removal doors has something to do with it. My logical mind says it has something to do with the track that the window runs on, maybe too much wiggle room.

someone will eventually pry their door cards off and figure a diy fix. I would look myself but I’m away from my bronco for a few months

I’m neither clueless or a troll. But hey keep being the type of person people avoid at all cost.

Do you guys smoke or something? I'm just trying to figure out why someone would ride with the windows partially down. I'm an all or nothing guy myself, so I'm just asking cause I'm curious.

Damp, chilly, 45 degree day here today. Dropped it down a couple inches for some fresh air and that's when i noticed it after going over a few bumps.
