Window rattling

When cruising at highway speeds of 80-120km/hr with my window rolled halfway or 3/4 way up my window rattles (both driverside and passenger side.

Sometimes going in the city it also rattles.

Twice i have been to the dealership to get it tightened as my other friend did but all they did was lube the tracks which does ABSOLUTELY nothing for window rattling. Rattling means something is loose. They need to tighten the track that the window slides up and down in.

Does anyone else have this problem? I will be writing to Mazda Canada, but don't know their email address. Does anyone have it?

Thanks.

window rattling.... I think it was talked about 1 year ago cause some of us with earlier p5s also had this problem very early on with the car....

I don't think there is a fix for it although my dealer has already lubed the thing....

mine rattles like hell even doing city driving with it rolled down maybe 2 inches....

at first I though only the driver window had it because I would only roll down that window.... then when I started to also roll down the passenger window it also got that probablem after a while....

remedy... shut the windows when you are driving.... or else you'll start getting it

Well, i know my friend got a whole new part ordered in and you can't even move it side to side with your hand, but mine is fairly loose.

Bah.. guess it's another courtesy car for me.
