Default Convertible driver window rattle when down?

My 98 vert drivers side window rattles when it is down. Tight as a drum with no rattles when it's up. Any one have any idea why this might be or how to fix it?

Thank you!

Tyler

Is is a rattle or a crunching sound?

Crunching could be the regulator...

The front adjuster nut on the regulator, it has a rubber bushing on it that runs up on the stud, if you remove the door panel you can try to push it back down into the hole in the front guide, mine had move up rattled like crazy when it was down. As oh1vette said if its a crunching noise its the regulator
