Hi there.
I have a new annoying noise in the cabin. It's a kind of vibration apparently coming from the front windows when I pass through harsh potholes or bumps.
Windows are closed. Don't understand if it is the glass or the frame vibrating against the rubber seals.
Anyone having the same issue?

That’s a new one on me and points to poor build quality.
Sadly, I expect you will have to visit the dealer

Fold your wing mirrors in and check to see if any labels/stickers are attached from factory, I had this issue on a brand new impreza sti a few years ago and it turned it was this! label was vibrated in the wind causing the noise.

I don't think so. The car is 1 year old now and this noise came up just now not from the beginning.

At dealer's workshop they sprayed some lubricant on the rubber seals and the noise almost disappeared. However on rougher roads I can still hear the vibration. I think it is a loosen door lock which cannot press the rubber seals tight enough onto each other.

I've had a vibration noise from the driver's window / door for a couple of months and I can't figure out what is causing it. The car is a Techna, and two and a half years old but low mileage of just 13700 miles.
When the noise starts I found that I could press the window up switch and it goes back up a couple of millimeters but soon makes the noise again. It's as if the window keeps dropping very slightly.
I can create the same vibration noise when stationary by opening the door, and with a clenched fist, gently thump the inner panel and it makes the same noise as if something is loose behind the panel and in the door.
The other doors are fine and there are no noises, even when doing my 'clenched fist' test..
