Desktop Window Side Panel rattle or Clunks solution

[Sharif]

Ever had your case randomly make a clunking or clicking noise randomly out of nowhere? Kinda sounding like throwing a small pebble at a window? 

 

I have been having this exact issue for last year or so but just ignored it mainly out not wanting to deal with fear of another dying hardware (Thought it was a fan for a good while)  

 

Basically what was happening was happening was the side panel window attached with folded metal tabs randomly contracted and expanded (Change in temperate maybe? Air conditioner maybe?) 

 

So basically I grabbed an AC air filter

 

 

Chopped it up into long strips

 

Sandwiched it between the panel and window after carefully loosening up the window metal tabs, bent it up with my fingers at the end as using a plier made it far too easy to chip the paint over them.

 

And finally done

 

Had anybody else ever had this issue? It drove me nuts until one day I was cleaning the side panel and heard it again and had that eureka moment
