I notice when I put my drivers side window down it kind of rattles at first. Doesn't seem to be causing a problem, but didn't notice this in my last Ram and was wondering if it's an issue or if others have noticed it too.

What do you mean by rattle? Does it visibly shake, is it making a noise? Has the window stopped opperating because of it? Thanks - Kevin T, Social Connect Team

I can see the window shake for about the first 2 inches of travel and then it finishes opening normal. I can hear it rattle as well, but it doesn't move much, but it is noticeable.

So far there has been no issue with operation, just seems to maybe be a loose fit, at least during the first part of it's travel down.

My passenger side front window does this as well. It has been doing it for a while now with no ill effects.

I've read some grease down the window tracts will alleviate it, but haven't got around to trying it yet. Interested to see what Ramcares says.

Mine just started doing this a week ago. When I engage the down button it acts like it is stuttering a couple times and then proceeds to go down. No issues going back up.

Yes, mine does this too. 2016 Laramie. It is a noticeably different sound than the passenger side. Also, it sounds like I have an unsecured harness in the door. Rattles over the slightest bump. Other than that I've seen no issues in the first 6500 miles.
