XM cant enjoy

Just had my xm installed and I love it. I adjusted it just right for sub and eq. The speakers are awesome.

Well because of the @#$%$#@$ window rattle I have to listen to it in the @#$#@ driveway. How can a window make so much %$$#$% noise. It sounds like a two bit ***** laying on a bed of styrafoam. I cant even drive the truck anymore. I went from loving it, read my posts from yesterday, to hating it. It literally sounds like a styrafoam cooler rubbing against another styrafoam cooler. It is horrible. ##@$@#$%#$%#$$%%

I tried jaming stuff into the window and nothing works.

Whew I feel better thanks guys.

I had ice build up on mine between the cab and the bed, drove me crazy for a few miles untill I pulled off the highway, took my ice scraper and cleaned it out, no more noise. But it wasn't the kind of noise you mention, but something you might want to check if you have any ice buildup, forgot to check where your from.

No ice. I can actually duplicate the sound by pushing on the top of the window.

because the rain acts as a lubricant to the window seal. I know, its pretty weird but thats the deal. Good luck with the fix. Let me know how you make out.

If you get a hard time, find a new service dept.
