Ohhh Yeahhhhh!!! I hear your pain.

I drove my shiny new Hurricane 34E from Florida, (where I picked it up), back home to California when I first purchased it.

I was very pleased that it was a relatively smooth and quite, (for a gasser), drive across the county on the I10, (for the most part). EXCEPT for the rattling sliding glass window!!

When I reached New Orleans I finally reached the tipping point that my nerves could handle with that rattling, (especially with the 80mph speed limits). I finally called the Thor 24/7 concierge service!!

Captain Obvious was on duty at the Thor concierge line at that moment. He first asked why am I driving over 60mph, (as that is about the speed that any rattling normally occurs, that he was aware of). I explained to him that if I didn't keep up with traffic I would be run over by huge fully loaded semi-tractors going even faster than me. He understandingly instructed me to find the two sliding plastic guides at the rear edge where the glass closed onto the frame. Those two plastic guides can be slid up and down in their channel in the frame to make contact with the glass to prevent it from rattling.

While stopped, I located the two plastic guides and made sure that they slid up and down in their frame channel. They were originally kinda stuck in place. They will return to a "stuck" position if you don't constantly mess with them.

Then, when hitting a bumpy portion of road and hearing the dreaded rattle I tried adjusting one guide, and then shut the glass. Ahhhh! It worked.

So, basically, with some incredibly dangerous highway one handed motorhome driving and simultaneous one handed window guide adjustment experimentation, I eventually found quiet bliss for the rest of my journey across these fine United States of America!
