Just about every stag I've had something to do with's windows clunk around at some point. Weather its shutting doors with them down or if the door is shut and their halfway down you can rattle them around abit. Dono about others but it shits me to tears.

Has anyone got a fix for this or know what needs re-adjusting? I've pulled door skins but nothing has jumped out at me at to what it could be.

All my windows/doors are fine except the front passenger window. Clunks when you close the door. I've pulled it apart twice chasing this mystery 'clunk' and cannot find it. I've just learnt to live with it.

To what extent did you pull it apart? Surely if you were to pull the window and arms it would stand out like dogs nuts...

Im clearly living with it atm but would be nice to get a fix sorted for everyone

A couple of my windows rattle if they are a down a litle bit while driving. I think it's just part of having frameless windows, every car I have been in with windows like that has had similar things

Yeah my stag and 2 previous 180's have all had the same problem. Joy of having pillarless windows I guess. Mind you my back ones seem ok. But they rarely ever get used so thats probably why. Even my back doors seem a lot stiffer to open and shut because they also rarely get used. I would love to know how to get rid of the wind noise on the fronts without having to get weather sheilds.

man i have a wind noise with the weather shields, wish i knew how to get rid of it

its your window close height - it needs to seal up against the rubber

my outback was perfect until i knocked the drivers door and messed up the gaps, then i got wind noise from that door

All pillarless windows are adjustable, up/down - in/out - front/rear, but rollers also fail over time.

Adjust stoppers at top of door for height, adjustable bolts on vertical rails for in/out and slides in middle of door frame for front/rear.

I've replaced all 4x doors on my stagea and had to adjust so they sealed and didnt hit weather strip at top.

My drivers rear clunks whilst going up but think I left something loose! LOL

!!! Also have 4x spare regulators and windows with good rollers if needed !!!

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
