I get some rear window rattle, the glass on the back wall under the seat back pad. I was thinking of putting something behind the seat back pad near the lower part of the window to quiet it down. When I put the seats in I put silicone under the lower part of the rear window and I put a new seal on the outer part near the rear trunk where it meets the rear window. I still have a little glass on metal sound. Granted, our roads suck here but looking for options. Not taking the rear seat or back pad out again.

You kinda know the answer to your own question....

Seats out
Trim out
Glass out

Clean up

New butyl seal

Refit glass

Trim & seats back in

It shouldn't take more than an afternoon.

Anything else is futile.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It can be a PITA but when you have a free afternoon just do the above, you will be happy that you did. Besides a rattling rear window means water can now get it and start to collect at the lower firewall / floor pan.

I disagree - this is a simple job. I can have the entire interior out of a 914 in about 10 minutes. If someone can't take the seats & backpad out, they shouldn't have a car they play with.

Seats out, belts out, roll bar pads off, and back pad out, glass out, clean everything, easy. I just did this recently.

Do it right.

Do it once.

You will have peace of mind and a solid roll bar window.

It's a bit of a PITA, but worth it.

Fold a book of matches and stick them between the glass and the frame. My car had this fix for so many years, the color faded on the matchbook.

Yes this is pretty easy to do. everything you need to install is here -

https://shop.914rubber.com/Engine-Deck-Lid-Seal-914EDLS.htm

For $20

However, While you are there may want to replace the engine deck lid seal that pushes against it at the outside base.

It may sound lame but I had a pack of matches stuck in the window for years, worked fine and it was cheap and available.

Yup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

A strategically placed matchbook wedge also works to keep 8 track tapes from cross-tracking.

My car had a folded up business card keeping the raddle down when I purchased it. I think it was a divorce lawyers card. I quickly spent the couple hours and 20 or so bucks following the introductions found on this site to fix right. Not a hard job.
