front window rattling
when driving with my front windows open to about 3", they rattle like crazy. ive noticed they wiggle a lot when opened a few inches. when its cracked open theres no play in the window or when its opened at least half way. any one else have this problem??

common characterstic of Honda. Zero you are going to do about it. Its recognized in all models and considered normal operation (even tho the issue is terrible and gives you an immediate impression of lack of quality)
its happened in every honda & acura product i have owned, and i have owned a TON. lol
each one i have brought into service for it and besides an extra lube/grease, there is nothing to be done, because the window itself is as tight as possible in the housing inside the door. (ive been in the shop during the check, taking the door off...) If your window is cracked, and you have some bumps or wind turbulence, its gonna happen. And that sucks, because, i dunno bout everyone, but who opens their window all the way all the time. However, its still a concern and still warrants a service check if ur under warranty so give it a shot anyways, who knows something actually could be up with it

Lexus is one of those that might be "almost" rattle free. But drive it for a few years, those bolts will eventually loosen up, and rattles become a common thing again...

i love this forum - do a search and people have a database of almost everything. i noticed my wife's front window rattle coz she opened it a tad today (say 1"). - have owned the car for half a yr now (3.5k Miles so far) thought it was only hers. so i tried mine. i opened it for say 2". less rattle but still there. at that point i said, ah, cant be a major issue since both sides have it . went home, searched the forum, and in some perverse way, felt better that other people have had the same issue. of course i prefer no rattle but again, nice to see people sharing their inputs on this. i still love acura rdx despite the rattles . mind you of course i prefer no rattles... i think im over the honeymoon period with the vehicle as i also have my wife driving it now fm time to time . i just hope they improve on future models (am eyeing a tsx or mdx or the replacement "rdx" in the future for a 2nd vehicle) - still cant trust the reliability of the germans (but that's just based on my own experience in the past with VW golfs circa early 00's)

you sure it wasnt placebo effect? based on the PP it didnt really make any diff. will talk to the dealer about it when i bring it for servicing next month but i do doubt anything could be done. if it's a problem most if not all honda owners have, for me, so be it.
