Default Drivers side window wiggles? This normal?

My drivers side window feels like it could be tighter. When it is fully up and you grab ahold of the window to close the door (i know you shouldn't) it wiggles back and forth in the window track. Anyone know how to fix it?
I had the door all apart and for the life of me, couldn't see any kind of adjustments.

Default Same here

Yeah I have had that same observation on mine. I figure it is due to the fact that the driver's door is used on average more than the passenger door and is just prone to more wear and tear, so to speak. I am hoping that someone will come to the rescue? I would like to get in there and tighten the window up.

I've had my door apart to replace the window motor assembly, and there isn't any adjustment to tighten the inside-to-outside movement you describe (at least that I could see - I'm open to ideas). I believe it's the weatherstripping on the inside and outside of the bottom of the window that is responsible for keeping it in place.

Here's a good LINK that shows you how to adjust window tip-in and the blow-out clip to help with window sealing and to cut down on wind noise...
