Default Door window loose?

Ive had to replace window motors just like everyone else. But now im noticing that the actual bracket that the motor mounts too is loose. Anyone have this problem and idea's on how to fix it without pulling the door skin off?

This may sound stupid, but have you checked all the bolts to the bracket, that are on the door panel side?

Thats the prob, they are loose, but you cant get a wrench or anything on them without taking the door apart

I've seen people use a holesaw to make an access hole just in front of the bolts/rivets in the door...maybe you could try that?

When you replaced the window motors did you rivet them in or bolt them in? I used the hardware that was included with the motors I got form Autozone instead of rivets; so I could easily remove them if needed but I did use some light loctite too. If I remember right the motor mounts right to the window regulator, right? The regulator is riveted to the inner door too, I think. There should be some buffers that can be adjusted to tighten the window, check those.

My driver's side window was loose once. It ended up being a worn guide.

Sorry, but I dont know. I got mine fixed under warranty. They just told me that it was a worn/damaged guide.
