 Subject: Windshield Rattling When Cold
IP: Logged
Message:
Hey guys, last year I asked "generally only when it's cold I get a fast rattle, or vibration coming from the base of the windshield when I'm going over hard dirt or sometimes if I hit a slight bump in the road. I don't know how else to describe it other than a buzzing noise. It's a GenIII (03 QC 4x4). I don't know what is causing it but it's annoying as it gets! Any suggestions?" but didn't get a big response in the wrong thread. Well...
Here it is cold again and my little windshield rattle is back! I'm pretty sure it's the plastic shroud on the bottom of the windshield outside. Anyone else ever have this problem and come up with a way to tighten the shroud to quiet it down a bit?

the "shroud" is NOT PART OF THE WINDSHIELD anything that is not glass or is not permanantly attached to it in the glass furnace before it is bent is NOT PART OF THE WINSHIELD!

So noone else has a rattle (buzzing almost) when cold? Like I said above, I think it's the plastic shroud vibrating against the windshield (not to confuse the plastic shroud with the actual windshield so as not to offend dork). I'd appreciate any input on dampening the shroud or any other alternatives if you have em..

At the base of the windshield there are retainers that fasten to the truck. Could rattle but prob'ly don't. Cowl at base of windshield on the otherhand has a bit of weatherstrip that will dry out and become hardened and brittle. At higher speeds wind friction will bump it around a bit, and since it is a bit loosened by weathering, bumpy roads may rattle it a bit. Bang on the cowl to locate the rattle.
