Default window creaking

Ever since I put my solid top back on for the summer in place of the transparent one I have had a creaking noise on the driver's window. If I hit the button down, just a tap to release the pressure it stops, so it seems to me the window may be trying to close too much on that side. How do I redo the window close limits? Is that all I need to do?

Check up in the window channel on the top where the window goes up into it. There is a screw that comes loose and rubs the window. about 1/4 of the way back from the front. It can also put a nick in your window edge.

yes I see the screws, and yes one did chip my window at one point, but all of them seem to be tight in there, but I am sure the rattling is from the window touching them. What now?
