I't been a long time since I've owned a '68, but I thought they had the little felt-padded anti-rattle bumpers on them, also. If you have them, they will be located on the inside of each window at the front and at the back ends of each window. The bumpers are mounted to the top of the inside door frame with a hex-head bolt.

Hi,
Is it possible that the lower track stops are set too low and are letting the glass drop below the 'whiskers' on the outer seal and interior trim panel? This might contribute to the rattle.
Regards,
Alan

The problem with the glass rattling could be caused by worn out nylon rollers on your tracks and regulators. With age, they get sloppy and allow the door glass to have access play.

I bought a set for my 68 and they don't fit anywhere. The anti rattle pads were another "improvement" they made in 69.I think the 68 just used the door, and panel whiskers as the anti rattle. If the door panels are old, they might warp away from the door a bit and leave a gap that lets the window rattle.
