Default Clicking noise

Has anyone experience a progressively loud clicking noise from their driverside window when taking hard right turns and running over bumps?

The sound is as if something inside the driver side door is contacting the glass. Similar to if you were to tap the glass from the outside with your key. that tapping noise is getting progressively worse, but only with the window in any position that isn't all the way rolled down.

The people at Honda said there was nothing wrong with this and that its "normal" for a car like this. Which i think is ridiculous cause if the car didn't make the noise when i first bought it why should i believe that its normal to make it now?


Please help! I need to know if anyone else experiences this loud clicking noise and what its symptomatic of so I can talk to the dealership about it! I gotta go back there in 3 hours to pick it up.

Can you take a vid and post it so we can hear the clicking?

I don't know I've ever heard any s2k make a sound like tapping the window with a key before...at least not at the door.

Do you have aftermarket speakers? Or have the door panels been off?

No , no aftermarket speakers, however the door trim has been off before.

But it was to replace a creeky door trim that i had on their originally! The same dealership replaced the interior trim and its solid as a rock. Its definitely something to do with the driver side window.

This sound is only made when the window is rolled up and when I hit bumps or something. I cant add sound or video cause I dont have the car back yet. I just want to know why does it sound like my window is loose! I need to know what to complain about a the dealership

Have you tried wiggling the window to see if there is a lot of play?

Yes Ive tried, cant seem to replicate it when i try that though, which leads me to believe it might be something inside the door related to the track. either that or I don't wiggle it as hard as the wheels do when i drive over the dots on the road

I dont have an answer, but I do have a suggestion

Remove the door panel...and go for a drive, perhaps you will find your answer
