I havent herd that rattle yet only the back sliding window but i managed to fix that. Can you pinpoint what is rattling is it the whole thing or just the sunglass and garage door opener rattling.

Try some felt or cushioned/insulated tape on the release tab for the sunglas holder. I isolated the noise to that plastic wedge thing buzzing in its hole and a little damping helped shut it up once and for all. Now the sunglasses inside? You may need to add more insulation material inside the pocket too.

Rear glass, not sure what to do yet, wonder if Dynamat would help tighten things up.

I just got some plain black paper and folded a little square and wedged it between the window and the sliding chanel. You cant even see it and it stays right in the same place window just slides across. It does make the window a little harder to open but no more rattle.

I put some eletric tape that i cut in a small piece to put on the sun visor thing. It still makes one hell of a noise when my subs are turned up. My rear view wont even stay in position, listen to it for about 1 minute and it is pointed to the floor. The side mirrors also shake and lose there setting. The back window rattles but ill try svt450r's fix. Thats about all my truck will rattle when my 4 JL 10 3v2's are on.
