Power window switch rattle - anyone else annoyed...
The power window switches in my '14 507 are extremely loose in their mounts and rattle incessantly over any rough roads. Easily annoyed by strange noises, I can't help but be constantly listening for it. Anyone else here feel the same way? Minor, I know. But irritating nonetheless.

I notice it most when traveling down a finely imperfect road. They just sit there and jiggle away relentlessly taunting me. A song with significant bass will also cause them to sing their filthy song.

New one to me too. Is it each individual switch or the switch assembly moving about in the door panel?
If the latter and the dealer won't address it I'd probably pop the assembly out and add a dab of silicone then reinstall.

It's each individual switch so I can't lock it down at all. Just run your finger over them and see all the wiggly waggly they do.

I would take it to the dealer. It may be a defective part they could swap under warranty. Even if not, they could probably address it somehow. Incidentally, I don't notice any wiggling of my switches.

Mine do that too. I stuck a piece of a business card (small piece just enough) between two of the switches and it fixed it. Doesn't bother me that it's there because I rarely look at that area... I'm more interested in the road/tac/speed
