Rattling windows
My car started having these problems where the windows seem to make a rattling sorta, window against metal (?) noise, in both front doors. The problem is very hard to replicate, and it seems that windows rattle more when the interior is either too hot or too cold. This is so annoying, and the dealer has no idea what it is. Dealer tech suggested tinting to try to tighten it up, but the damn thing didn't go away. This problem did not occur for the first year of ownership. I remember detailing my car, and applying Armor All protectant to door seals, not sure if thats related.
I've read the other post about cleaning and lubricating the channels, but think this is a bit more severe. Any suggestions? as to what is the cause?

I posted here because thought rattling windows have nothing to do with dirty seals, or at least I cant find an explanation to that.
When a seal is dirty that it would prevent the window movement, actually tightening around the window. What I am having is a loose window... please correct me if wrong.
I def. want to try cleaning the seal but would like the dealer to do it for me, especially that my ride is still under full warranty. What should I say to make them do it?

Have the dealer look at the mirror housings & trim.

talked to my service advisor over the phone. Turns out they did fix the door seals per Febr 08 bulletin (inserted noise cancelling tape) and cleaned out the door channels, but that fix does not work. They are ordering all new door seals, going to replace that next week and see if solves anything.
When rolling driver's door window all the way down and slamming the door, instead of a "thud", I hear a rattle. All other doors close with a thud. I showed this to an Acura tech right in front of a service advisor, and they were clueless. next time i am dropping it off they better fix it or i'll be calling Acura corporate on them.
