Default Rattling rear window panel

'01 996 with 82k. Its rear window glass panel will rattle everytime I change lanes and go over those lane markers, or when the road is not as smooth. Any fixes? Or those it need to be re-glued? I don't know how such glass panel attaches.

i know from the 993 forum that some guys who get on the freeway with the sunroof open lose their rear windows completely at high speeds. they just pop and break away. i never had this, but you should research this, it may be worth it to have it re-glued.

My old '99 had the same problem with the passenger side rear window. Dealer replaced (or lubricated, don't recall exactly) the seals and the problem was fixed.

I think it's a common problem with the '99-'01 cars, along with a squeeky dash. They stiffened the chassis on the '02-'04 cars to fix these.
