Default Window rattle

Good morning,
I'm hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. I have a 2011 Grand sport and I have a terrible window rattle in the pass.door. I can't find any info on window pads,or anything else related to what I would call a anti-rattle pad. I don't want to pull the door apart without knowing if there is a fix and a illustration would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance

I had a little rattle myself on my passenger side door also. When I pulled the panel to install new speakers, a little clip fell out. I could not find where it was supposed to be located (maybe a wire clip)...... No rattle ever since then. No ill effects either from not having the clip missing.

Maybe it’s not the window but the inner door panel that’s rattling. It’s held on by clips which sometimes break over time. If that’s the case you can get the fasteners from Amazon at way less than from GM. There’s two parts to the fasteners

Maybe the window just needs to be indexed. It's worth a try anyway.

Thank you for that. I've been too dumb to find these on my own and I need some.
