this problem is really annoying me, i have a 2004 conquest hatch and when i have windows half wound down i get rattles through road vibrations...

not full on rattling but enough to annoy. is anyone else experiencing this problem?

anyone seen toyota about it? goes for anyone that has leccy windows.

not sure if ascents are experiencing this at all.

a friend of mine that has a conquest is having these problems too.

My front windows don't rattle but the rear ones rattle badly - so much so that I seldom open them.

I asked the w*nkers at my dealership to fix it and like just about everything I ask them to do - they said they had but they hadn't.

:lol: that's wat i do. i hate having them half way up or down coz it splits my view of the wing mirror into a darker and lighter half with the window tints.

agreed... with the tint I just find it annoying having the window half way so generally closed of all the way open, but just a little open at the top (~3-4cm) sometimes just to feel the breeze

i realise its annoying like that, but what if we wanted the option of windows half way. they shouldnt' rattle.

personally i've got a/c on constantly. i don't like windows down all the way if i have them open.

keep these coming. i'm going to confront Toyota about it.

it spoils the toyota name having problems like these.

yeah tel me bout it. i think they hate me as it is. for the first month i had my car i was very picky about scratches... there were 3 little ones lol only a new black car owner would see. they ended up spending about $4000 re doing paint. then they scuffed me new 17's and had to replace a rim $400 then they had to re do the paint protection. and lent me a newy ascent which only had 20k's on it. by the time i got it back to them it has 2000k's hehe and i thoroughly wore the engine in :D

I also have rattles in 2003 5d Corolla TS (Europe) when the windows are 4-5cm open. I can hear intense rattles just closing the doors, not needing irregular road surface.

Toyota mechanics spray some silicone but after 2-3 weeks the situation is awful again.

I think the window rubber frames are badly engineered materials. There is some obvious variation in tightness from door to door. My front doors are worse!

i really think this is a factory mistake. if i can get more people to verify this is an occuring problem we as toyota owners shouldn't have to put up with rubbish. although its hard to get toyota to listen.

good example is sportivo gearbox/clutch problems. they fixed it.

Ic3man - only had the ascent for a week and a half.

That's good to hear as I've had this problem during my 1st year of owning it. I just thought it was one of those characteristics of the car. It rattles when I close the door and rattles when driving over bumpy roads. It's either drive with windows all the way down or all the way up. If you can get it fixed please let us know. i wanna get this fixed as well.

Cheers :)

haha i don't think that's got anything to do with. as that only refers to the motors used. the window itself will sit on a rack. what i'm thinking the problem is the rubbers used in the corollas aren't thick enough making the window loose.

this shouldn't be a characteristic as the guy from toyota said. i've had my car for almost a year and this problem has occured 3 months after purchase. its getting worse from my perspective that's why i want to take this matter furtherer.

and to prove that its not a electric window characteristic i've test out my mates subie's 200's the accord euro, monaro's leccy windows and none rattles...

if anyone is actually progressing with this matter to their toyota dealers let me know.

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
