Rear sliding window rubbing noise

[herdbull]

Anyone else's rear slider make a ton of noise? It sounds like the foam or seal is constantly being squished or is rubbing on something. It looks like it is sealed up good and hasn't leaked but the noise is constant as long as you're driving on even the smoothest roads. Hard to tell if it's the entire window itself or just the slider portion.

mine sounds a bit like that. it never leaks, and I rarely use it since I run a softopper 100% of the time.

I should add that it does this when it's closed or open.

Do you mean makes noise even when it is not operating? If yes, then mine does not do that. It does make some noise when opening or closing though, but not so much it seems off to me.

the noise happens while driving, not while opening or closing the window. It definitely sounds like a rubber seal either on the slider portion or the whole window itself.

ah.. mine only makes noise when operating.

Same here. I think the OP has an issue. I do have a shell on mine so that may impact it. But I did not have it on for the first almost 1,000 miles and I don't remember any noise at all from back there.

If it's a loud rubbing noise there is a rubber insert that tends to come out from the top if not seated correctly. This happened to mine a couple months after I bought it. Dealer took care of it. Open and close the window a couple times and see if you have some rubber hanging from the top recess on the driver's side after you close it. Mine was rubbing so bad the window was slow to open/close.
Update, issue resurfaced and dealer is replacing the rear window, just waiting on the part to arrive.
