Default Drivers Side Window Buzzing Noise

When I have the windows rolled up, the drivers side window area buzzes when hitting even the slightest bump. If I put pressure on the window, the buzzing is dramatically reduced. Dealer offered little help and just treated the rubber molding. Anyone else have this issue or a potential fix. Very annoying. Should have invested in the B&O to drown out the noise.

There is such a thing at etiquette. Thanks for hijacking my thread and being so very helpful.

Noises, vibrations , clicking and the likes can be a bitch to find, as it is almost impossible to tell where they are coming from. Often it takes multiple attempts to rectify the problem. You have to keep after the Audi service and give them a chance to try something else if the first attempt isn't successful. A friendly chat with the service manager along the line of "I know these things are hard to find but would appreciate another effort" will go a long way to ensure cooperation. Make sure you have all the attempts documented and go to Audi head office with it if you need to.

Thanks. They put a lubricant on the window molding and it did nothing. The one thing I was a bit concerned about was the frameless window/door. I am fairly certain there is something in the power window mechanism that is causing the noise. When I go in for my 5,000 mile service I will see if they could take a look at adjusting the window. Not the end of the world but my left ear gets a workout when traveling over even slightly bumpy pavement.

Annoying for sure. Since others are not complaining about this (I certainly don't have that issue), it is unique to your vehicle, not a design issue, so it is fixable.
