What Causes the Rattling Noise in Haval Car Windows?
3 Answers
If there is a rattling noise coming from the window glass of a Haval car, it may be due to dust entering the sealing rubber. It is recommended that the owner clean the sealing rubber. If the issue persists after cleaning, check whether the flocking strip around the window has aged, causing poor sealing. If this is the cause, replacing it can resolve the problem. Aging Window Sealing Strips: For the issue of aging window sealing strips, car owners can choose to purchase sealing strip repair oil. Sealing strip repair oil wax does not cause any chemical reaction with the rubber strip but instead lubricates it, making it soft and elastic, thereby solving the noise problem. Maintaining the sealing strips of a new car is even more important, as it can prevent aging, reduce damage, and extend the lifespan of the sealing strips. Promptly Remove Advertisement Cards Stuck in Windows: When the car is parked outside, advertising personnel often insert cards into the windows. If the owner inadvertently rolls down the window, the card may slip into the window gap. Everyone should be cautious while driving. If a card is inserted into the window, make sure to remove it promptly to avoid it falling inside when the window is rolled down.
My Haval had a similar issue with window squeaking a while back, making creaking noises when rolling up and down. Upon self-inspection, I found small stones stuck in the window gap. Cleaning the tracks with a wet towel wrapped around a bank card solved the problem. If the noise persists after cleaning, it might be due to aging door seals, especially in cars that are three or four years old—hardened rubber tends to create friction noise. It's best to apply rubber protectant to the seals monthly to extend their lifespan. If the squeaking occurs on bumpy roads, check if the window regulator bracket screws are loose. This is best handled by a professional repair shop, as removing the door panel yourself could damage the wiring.
Window rattling is generally addressed in three scenarios: First is the sand and dust issue, particularly common in windy and sandy northern regions. The grinding sound when raising or lowering the window is caused by sand particles rubbing against the tracks. The most effective solution is to clean the window channels with a soft brush. Second is aging rubber seals. I've seen cars over five years old with cracked and hardened seals. Applying rubber lubricant can provide temporary relief, but severely deformed seals require replacement. Lastly is the window regulator problem. If the rattling is accompanied by jerky movement or misaligned glass, it may indicate worn cables or deformed brackets, necessitating professional repair. Avoid inserting advertisement cards into window gaps as this can exacerbate friction issues.
