Posted August 23, 20169 yr The glue or whatever has loosened and the window moves perhaps a millimeter either way and rattles super bad. Discovered basshead radio on iOS yesterday. How can I resucure the window? It does not have to be pretty. My hatch window is spray foamed in place. 98 mountaineer (explorer)
August 24, 20169 yr You probably broke some of the stud post that bolt the glass. Quick fix maybe if you can't get to the inside of the glass to check the small nuts that fasten it to the hatch & the glass sealant (same stuff used on windshields) might be to get some black silicone caulk and fill the gap around outside edge.
August 24, 20169 yr Author Moving to Illinois in the morning, first thing to do once the truck is unpacked then. I believe the panels can be pulled back, but I need to clean my sunroof drains anyway.
August 24, 20169 yr Definitely one of those things that is usually much more obvious once taken apart.

August 28, 20169 yr I was just goofin bro. I think every window came out of White Lighting at one time or another to fix rattles. A good cleaning and fresh urethane (think that's how it's spelled) always seemed to work. Good luck.
August 29, 20169 yr Author Seems the consensus is the 1/4" strip or the window will stick out. I get the garage back today so I'll look at it this afternoon. Hope it's as simple as tightening the bolts back up
September 30, 20168 yr Author Turns out it was a quick fix, all the bolts weren't even finger tight. Didn't have to remove the box to fix it!
September 30, 20168 yr Second Skin American made Damplifier Butyl Rope could solve the problem http://store.secondskinaudio.com/damplifier-butyl-rope-3-8-x-15/

October 2, 20168 yr I had a similar problem once my four 15" Xcons ripped the brackets for the electric motors on the side rear windows in half.. I had to get the manual latches from a wrecker and tighten up the adjustment almost enough to break the glass to stop them from flapping on the low notes
October 2, 20168 yr Author I'm already seein xcons in my sleep and you keep teasing me ^^ Edited October 2, 20168 yr by SpeakerBoy
