Drivers window rattle

When my window is about half way down and I go over bumpy roads the window rattles. Sounds like it might shatter. When you grab the window it moves in the window channel.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I just got in from a ride and took care to listen to it up and it does make a slight rattle up also.

When I move the window it hits on each side of the window seal channel at the back of the door.(If that makes sense) It seems to me the window is ot being held tightly by the window seal.

Do you guys get a lot of wind noise with the windows up? I know that's been an issue for lots of folks (myself included). You may be onto something...

I have a bit of wind noise but this truck is such a major improvement from my previous vehicles, I have no complaint.
When I drive the 'ol '98 Explorer for example, I can't stand the wind noise in that vehicle now but it never bothered me before.
