Window rattle

My driver's side window is loose. At first, I found the felt lining of a window track in the bottom of the door. I reattached it, with glue. Now the window goes down fine, struggles a little more to go up, and is still loose. Is there an adjustment or the possiblility of a loose screw somewhere? I've looked in there as best I can.

All I see is that the window seems to be slightly out of alignment with the tracks: it tends to go inwards, so there's a visible gap between the window and the outside weatherstripping. But I see no way of fixing this. Any ideas?

I kind of remember that one of the tracks is adjustable. I'll have to look at the spar doors I have.

the tracks come loose at the bottom. Especially the one towards the rear of the door. Teh screws seem to back out. It may feel tight when you first look, but its probably needs to be snugged up.

Well, I took a close look at the tracks, and they appear to be nonadjustable. Maybe I'm missing something. Something is learly wrong with the window, though: the lining only stopped the rattling noise; the window is still loose. Is there anything that can be adjusted? Thanks.

Oops, I never saw you response. I'll take another look sometime, the door is back together. Thanks.

THere is a bolt at the bottom but its welded at the top as well....... on the late cars anyways.

The bottom bolt is enough to hold it in place......
