Back glass rattle. Is it just the spare tire mount that makes it rattle/squeak? I never had a problem before, the back window got smashed when some idiots broke into it and ever since the replacement its been squeaky? Anything I can do? Seals etc? Anyone ever trouble shoot this?

Rattle Noise Around Window

The rear edge of the window garnish molding rattles.

Insulate the inside of the window garnish molding with foam tape.

 

Thanks Chevy for editing my post with my vehicle information.. ill get it down someday![8D]
What kind of foam tape? just regular old stuff that i can get from the hardware store and put it around the whole window?

 

Is the rear glass rattling or squeeking? Mine was squeeking and I just armoralled the rubber and that fixed the squeeks

 

To be honest, I don't really know.. it sounds like its squeaking and rattling.. Im thinking its the latch cause I put some WD40 just whent he window latch locks in and it stopped it for a bit.. so im not sure..

 

the latch is adjustable. it has 3/8 inch bolts. lower it deeper into thegate so that the window will close tightly. try it a fews times to get the best spot.

plus the tire carriers cause this problem. the hinges bushings wear out and allow for the carrier to bounce. take some duct or fiber tape and wrap the carriers bar where it slides into its glide to take up its play.

but my suggestion is to take the tire into the truck where it attaches to the jack area.

 

I have taken the spare tire off and I still recieve the squeek. Way worse in the winter. I dont know how to fix it..i have tried everything

 

i put a nylon busing around the latch on the rear glass this seems to fix the problem.

 

mine rattles too i did a cheap fix of putting a couple layers of electrical tape around the latch and it has not rattled since.

 

Mine squeeked to until i replaced the shock arms and WD40 my weatherstripping. It doesnt sound like a colony of mice anymore.
