Rattle from Rear Sliding Glass

[jenstyler]

Currently own a '19 Limited with the 19 speaker Harmon Kardon sound system and 12.1 in uConnect.

Currently at mid to high volume, certain frequencies in on the bass side of the spectrum cause a rattle with the rear glass. (Around 60-120hz).

Had the dealer look at it and they refused to address it since they could replicate it on another vehicle.

Anyone else notice the rattle?

Search the forum, it's a common issue.

Check this out, this is what I had to do in order to resolve. RAM has not acknowledged the issue or come out with a fix that I am aware of.

I noticed the same thing today, but only when I had the rear window open.

Mine had this problem it was coming from the top of the rear sliding glass window and the black trim piece that the glass was behind.

Any fix from Ram? Have the same rattle and able to minimize or stop when pushing on the top trim piece above the rear sliding window.

Still waiting for the dealer to fix mine. I think they are planning replacing the window.

I just bought mine yesterday and have the same issue. I will be taking it back to the dealer soon to see what they can do about it. Im not convinced that replacing the sliding window will resolve, it seems more like the track not being tight enough at the top. I can make the rattle go away by opening the window all the way. This confirms its the alignment of the window/track. If they can't resolve, my backup plan is to put a small felt sticky strip inside the top of the track to force the window closed tight when shut.

And the saga continues. Turns out the service consultant no longer works at the dealer and there's no record of parts ordered, star case opened. Found out the star case he provided me was for a different truck that the Ram customer service agent provided him to do a little more research.

Now I have to start the process all over again. Terrific!

I just got a 20 limited, and the issue is still there. I was trying to pinpoint where it was coming from, and it made sense once I found this post. With the glass closed or full open it's fine, but anywhere in between I get a rattle.

I have a 20 limited as well, and I hear rattle from rear sliding window? i dont know how will it get fixed. I hope dealership is able to help me out with this.
