It's like it's not fastened to the window regulator, just kind of sitting in it instead of attached like I think it should be.

my driver side window does this too. the dealer hasnt been able to fix it

All of the windows on my truck can move when they are down. I think it is the design of the track and the lifting mechanism.

I can't remember, but I am thinking it is attached only in the center...

I believe the noise is the electronic stability program responding, but I am really not going fast enough for it to be going off. Within the first week, about 400 miles, this happened and the ABS light came on and the traction control light came on. It hasn't happened since the two occurances, but drove me nuts. Overall, it's been a great truck so far!

My '11 Pro-4 does the same thing. I have a thread looking for answers but none of them have panned out so far.
Mine only started doing it after i installed the 6" lift kit (or thats the first time i started noticing it)

3) Whenver I change my HVAC to or from the defroster, the little flappers inside the dash shutter and vibrate making a noise.

I know this was a long time ago, but was a cause and/or fix ever found? Mine does the same thing.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't want to lift up too much in case it would dislodge it altogether. I guess if you're right, x_mods, then it can kinda pivot and would self align in the window run when it's pushed up.

My truck was already tinted when I bought it, I was thinking the tint guys may have done something, but if it's normal I'll just deal with it.

Not a Frontier issue. It's a Nissan thing. The windows in my Murano did that. Half down they'd vibrate, go up just a small amount and it'd stop. But you could wiggle the window back/forth and up/down.

Yea, I think it is pivoting and rocking. Next time I'm in my doors I'll put the camscope in there and check..

I put WeatherGard window vents on my 2012 because it was uncomfortable driving with the window down a little. Now when I put the window up it creaks against the plastic vent and if the window is down a litte it rattles. Move it up or down a little and the noise goes away. Very minor issue.
Thanks for letting us know that the windows are only attached in the middle of the track.

I have a 12 Pro4X with about 3000 miles on it. I have been noticing a knock or thunk coming from the wheel well or front tire area when making left turns. It happens only when going over a modest crack, hole, or ridge at slower speeds. (20mph). These are not large road hazards, just typical road imperfections anyone encounters, such as a slightly recessed manhole cover. (The manhole cover is not making the clunk There are several of these during my short commute of 2 miles to work. I thought the brake calipers might be causing the clunk but they seem to be solid. It is almost showroom clean underneath and I have never been off road nor have I hit anything. Everything looks OK upon inspection. Has anyone else had this? A forum search has turned up nothing yet.

RE window creaking i used to have this until dealer added a lubricant to the glass edge seals

RE turning thunk, FWIW get this on front right occasionally, have attributed it to washer fluid slapping the side of the reservoir
