Default Windows are loose and rattle, how to fix?

How do you fix loose/rattling windows. They move quite a bit when part/half/alltheway down. Anyone know how to fix this crap its rather annoying and sounds horrible.

Thanks!

There are some window guides on the top of the door that might be loose. You have to take the door panel off to see them. They have felt on them cause they touch the glass. Just loosen the bolts on the guides and push them tight against the glass, but no TOO tight. Just get rid of any excess slack. Mine rattled around so bad, that it broke one of the guides , and it tore the **** out of my tint

I replaced the channel at the bottom of the driver's side window due to a loose rivet causing a very annoying rattle on my 01 WS6 TA. It only had 13000 miles on it too.
