Default Loose drivers side window

My drivers side window rattles and moves easily when all the way up. I searched and found a fix but the thread is locked. My question is does anyone have pics of the area where the felt goes to tighten this up? The link is for the locked thread...https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-windows.html

Thanks...

I sent you a pm There are 2 pop-rivets that hold the brace that the adjusting nut goes through. They are hard to see, but, I had the same problem on my Y2k FRC, and two pop rivets cured it.

Default update with photo

My drivers side window had a bad leak and a bad rattle. I found the bracket that the forward adjuster uses to set the front track had broken away from the door panel. It was held with two pop rivets that were broken in a small disagreement I had with a tire wall at the track. I thought I had re-pop riveted it, but I found I used two stainless #14 round head sheet metal screws that were stainless steel. Pic below. the rectangular plastic plug is removed to reveal the track adjuster. Been several years ago this happened, but all is good, no rattles, no leaks.
