United-States Window Rattle

I had my convertible top fixed due to the right clip not releasing. After I got my baby home, I noticed the driver's front window rattled just a little. It got worse and then the passenger side started to rattle, also. In addition my back two little windows started getting scratched so I took Chloe back to the dealer.
They had her all day, claim they fixed the two front windows and replaced the back two.
The problem is this: the driver's side still rattles! Not anywhere near as badly but it is loud enough to be annoying.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I just got my baby a month ago so I am a complete n00b when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks!


PS - She is a 2005 convertible, made in GB. (Not an S model)

Wrong forum... and aren't they all made in GB?

Either way, is the rattle coming from up high where the glass seals with the roof? Or low where the window slots into the door?

Have you gone through the window reset process? You know how the window dowops and raises a little whn opning and closing the doors? I've heard of that going out of whack and the window stops raising into the upper gasket. A bad seal could allow the window to rattle around a bit.

If resetting the window doestn't work, I'd be suspicious of the gasket along both sides of the top (since your having problems with all four windows).
