Its a characteristic of a DC2R. Is this your only rattle or squeak? If so I'm very surprised.

haha yeah, integras before 2000 have SO many annoying noises, mines got the window rattle when it's half way down, I think it's pretty much unavoidable lol.

I had a rattling window when it was partly down, I got it checked by my uncle (pannel beater) and he fixed it. It was some rubber gormat(spelling) seal thingy around the window that was broken off. So he just custom made me a newy one for cheap.

My 0.02c,
Good luck

you can get rubber gromets from autobarn if you decide to fix it

Remove your door trim & check the rubber channel that guides the window. If the rubber channel is dislodged/ misaligned/ not positioned correctly it will cause the window to rattle. Put it back into its proper position & that will stop the rattling.

your car won't get newer with age. live with it.

in the mean time, open the trimming and look around for anything unusual.

check the bottom of the door, has the back rubber strip dropped down to the bottom???

I had this problem when my d/s window popped out of the track. i undid my door trim and put the window back on track. when doing so, i didnt tighten it enough and when i put the trim back on, it started ratterling, which was odd cause it wasnt ratterling from before.

So i pulled off the door trim AGAIN and pushed the track in to hug the window a bit better and tightened the bolt. Worked a treat. No more ratterling.

Try that procedure and see how it goes. Good luck pal.

fixed.. xD tood the door trim off to check behind expecting some bullshit that would be hard to fix and it was just one of the rubber pieces that the glass ran down had become lose and fallen to the bottom of the door trim...... picked it up applied a suitable glue that bonds to both metals and rubbers applied generously and slid it up the track.... has been perfect ever since...

no more unwanted rattles for this type R xD

thanks for all the help

It's a common problem with the Integra's either they stick on the way down or they rattle around. What type of glue did you use as mine keep sliding loose on me no matter how many times i fix it?

i used some extra strength liquid nails.....make sure that what ever glue you decide to use can bond to both metal and the rubber....... and doesnt corrode the rubber... and apply generously..... coz your not going to see it after and you want it to stick well..( i still made sure it was a clean job though.. )
