Window goes too far down.
I replaced the regulator a few years ago and after i finished I noticed that when the wind is down and I shut the door there is a terrible rattle. I finally figured out the issue, the window goes too far down past the felt strips and rattles. How do I adjust this? With the bump stop screws or window clamp bolts? Thanks!

The clamp bolts should be at the bottom of their slots on the clamp, which sets the window at max height overall. As you can see, if you move them up in the slots, the widow will sit lower overall, and be lower when down. Make sure they’re at the bottom of the slots. Then set your bumps stops to adjust window height when rolled up. If your bump stops are as low as you can go and it’s still too high in the weatherstrip, only then should you move the clamp itself. That shouldn’t happen though.
As for rattling, did you check your tip-in bolt behind the reflector? Just last week my window began rattling while up and driving. The nut had fallen off the bolt behind the reflector and the bolt was scraping and rattling on the inner door skin. Of course rattling could be caused by other worn parts in the regulator which means a new regulator or live with it until the reg totally pooches.
