Default Drivers side window rattle

Hey guys/gals,

For some reason my drivers side window rattles over every little bump. Gets very annoying in city traffic! I checked the newbie thread and found tons of ways to address other rattles in the car, however I didn't see anything about the windows (hopefully I didn't miss it). Is there anything I can do inside the door that might fix this issue? Something loose that needs to be tightened? The car has the rather stiff Goodyear EMT's on it that I intend to replace with some PSS very soon. Switching to a softer tire might help the issue a little bit. Anyhoo I'd love to hear if from you guys/gals that had a similar problem, and how you fixed it. Thanks in advance..

Remove the window.

​​​​I don't know if there's a common item that's prone to rattling, but you might wanna just take the panel off and look it over and see if you can find anything. I'd leave the panel off and take it out for a spin and see if it's easier to hear. If and when you think you have found it don't put the panel back on before another road test. Good luck finding it.
