Default Driver Window Rattle

Had my S5 for a couple of days...noticed last night a slight rattle coming from either the window or in the door. Has anyone experienced the same?

Yes, I'm trying to pay attention to if it happens all the time or first few miles. I'll report it at my next service if I can replicate it on demand.

Glad I'm not crazy because my GF said I was. Seems like its right in the middle of driver side front and back door on the SB. Any thoughts what it is?

Try lubricating the door seals.

Had it as well once or twice. I've found opening and reshutting the door does the trick. Something to do with the rimless seal. Like it misses the connection sometimes.

+1 on lubricating the seals. I had a slight rattle on my 17 Q7 that I swore came from within the door. Almost sounded like a loose cable lightly bouncing around. Was at dealer for unrelated thing and asked them to check, they lubed the seals (its a standard answer from Audi to the service dept) and sure enough, rattle is gone (for now at least). Its easy enough to keep them lubed yourself when needed or every few months during a wash. Just ask your SA to order you some of the lube they use.
