Default slop in driver's window

We have a '00 coupe..driver's window has play ...and you can grab and wiggle back and forth (not front and aft). Express down feature was not working...but when I wiggled the window back and forth ...now the express feature works!! The driver's window seems to have much more sideways movement than the passenger window...have not removed the door panel yet (111 degrees here in Mesa, AZ) but is this just a "loose" mounting bolt syndrome?

Yep...you'll see when you get the door panel popped off..

There are two little "clamps" that have rubber covers over them that the glass just sits in and you probably just need to SNUG one up.

Default driver's window "slop"

Thanks for the note back...was hoping it was something like this. Much appreciated!!! As soon as it "cools down" later this week ( maybe 104 by Friday) I will pull the panel and tighten the clamps. Bob

You might find that it is the plastic sliders in the rail that have deteriorated and a new track and motor are necessary.
