Default Shakey Driver's Side Window

Does anyone know how to take the in and out shake or play out of the door window. My drivers side will move in and out freely about a quarter inch when it is fully raised and the door is open, the passenger side is stable. I checked all the mounts with the door panel off and found nothing loose including the glass mounts at the base of the window. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it creek at all? First while the door panel is off, if you pull 2 of those rubber tar like covers over the holes it'll expose 2 13mm bolts that you can see if they're tight. Secondly the window track stuff might be loose, you want to check those 2 threaded rods at the bottom of the window track. I remember my window was loose and would rattle but it was actually missing a bushing in the window track (hard to describe, sorry). I JB welded it and 2 years later it is still fine.

Thank you eRiCdWoNg,
That's good information, I failed to remove that tar tap when I was in there. Next time I pull the panels I'll check those fasteners.
