Default Window rattle problem

My drivers side window has a lot of play in it when its down any. Is there something inside the door that is supposed to keep it stable? It's really annoying when driving or when I close the door with the window open. Anybody else have a similar problem?

you can adjust the window stabalizers, if you take off your door panel you will see 2 brass (im guessing thats what they are made of) brackets with felt on the ends.. they prolly need to be slid closer against the window.. if they are broken or there is no felt replace them befor they mess up your tint. the part number is 10257988 and can be purchased from the dealer for about 15bucks..

here is a link to a sponsor that sells um http://www.sdparts.com/product/10257988/STABILIZE.aspx

Thanks! Unfortunately I think this is why the glass is messed up. I took the tint off because it was scratched and I couldn't figure out why. Guess I should have addressed this problem a long time ago

How do you get the roller out of the bottom? Im about to do this fix tomorrow after pulling the top part of the door apart and found the rear most window felt broken...AGAIN! I think the problem is the rivet being broken at the bottom. Ill check ASAP

My question if it is the bottom piece, how can it be removed to be tapped?
