[QUOTE="Mike Wilson, post: 538803, member: 62656"] I wonder if the loose bolts on the rear window slider assy might have anything to do with our rear window troubles? I know I work at Saturn as a Quality Tech, and often times, we will get Dealer-Feedback updates on warranty work, and we will have to write a revision to the assembly documents specifying a torque change to some of the fasteners in a specific area of the vehicle to get rid of squeak and rattle issues. Low torque can cause parts to bend and flex and add greater strain on the adjoining assemblies (such as window motors) that these parts were not designed to handle. As usual the GOOD dealership mechanics are left to figure out the inadequacies of the engineers that design the vehicle in the first place. Kind of like us here, on this site!!! [/QUOTE]
