Default Rattle in doorpanel when windows down?

Usually I ride around with the radio on, but the other day I noticed that with the radio off and the windows down something was rattling. Not sure if it's the window itself or what, but it only happens with the windows down + it's really annoying! Anyone else having this problem, and if so how can it be fixed?

Mine does it, too. Not enough to bother me, though. I'm lazy that way.

It is most likely a worn bushing. Should not be difficult to repair.

Raise the window a tiny bit and the rattle goes away.
