Default 99 C5 windows

Just like every other Vette I've had, (63 split w/electric windows were always working loose) the drivers window (and passenger window to a lesser extent) appeares to be rattling within the door. Nothing really radical, just annoying.
Also the overall panel seems a bit loose when you close the door.
Not having dealt with it yet, and before I do I'd like to reap the wisdom I see on the boards. Suggestions etc.(Flattery will get you everything LOL)

Do You all feel that I have some replacements needed, or just some adjustments to do.

Nothing appears to be broken from a cursory look.
Appreciate it.

Same deal. I thought it was just because mine was getting older with some miles. But then I went and looked at some others, their all like that though. Never seen a tight window. I would say deal with it, I have for a long time.

Appreciate it.
I guess I too will deal with it.
I figure if I get in there and get all wrapped around the axle to make it perfect I'll just make it worse.
Guess it's the nature of the beast.
Rather have a bit of a noisy rattle in a Vette window than a non-noisey one in a Camray.
Thanks.
