Window rattle/door sag

[NJTurbo]

I noticed the other day while out driving over some bumps my windows rattle like they are loose, i know Kirban makes a kit will this fix it? I also noticed that my doors when closing need that xtra push to complete close, will new door hinges repair this. Who sells door hinges are they still Available from GM?

chances have it you'll only need hinge bushing and new pins.
The windows probably ust need some fresh adusting.

Thanks, are they available from GM?

Any auto parts store has the bushings in the "Help" section.

Does this only sound that way when the windows are down? Could be the striker - mine needed adjustment - fixed it.

My window rattles BAD when it is down and you close the door, just on the driver's side. Sounds like the window is falling out. Where is the striker located? It's not the door striker is it? Best way to adjust?

Mine does it down or up, i notice when up or down if i grab glass and wiggle back and fourth i have some play

yeah my windows are so loose i can move them back and forth when they are up and rattle like hell when semi down or down...also my driver side doors sags like a mother and i can hear it creak and make a click noise when i open and close it...the passenger side is fine just like new

Well it seems that we all share the same problem, has anyone used Kirbans window anti rattle kit? will this repair it? also the doors is it the striker or the hinge?

If your hinge bushings are bad they should be replaced ASAP. They are cheap and easy to do. If left alone, you will destroy the door slamming it and eventually destroy the striker and door jam. Much easier to spend $5-10 on new pins and bushings. I think I will replace all the weatherstrips and the rubber across the top of the door that holds the window, should solve my problems.
