If the rattle is more than "normal", then it sounds like a broken giude.
I say "normal" because with the design of these doors, the windows will rattle somewhat in the down (1/2 way or more) position. But the rattle typically only happens when opening/closing the doors.
There are two metal brackets with felt pads that help "guide" the window. Take off the door panel and look for the two yellow metal "L" brackets at the top of the door (where the window goes up/down). If one is broken/missing, replace it. They may be held in with rivits. One of mine broke once.
