Ok, I remember a long time ago I saw a faq about fixing the rattle when closing a 2g door with the window down.

I didn't think much of it because mine didn't rattle, but now they do and I can't figure out what to do. Does anyone have any insight? I couldn't find it searching or using vfaq.
 
Use that foam in a can to foam the insides of the door panels to make your doors more rigid and less rattle, and use an allan wrench to adjust the lil metal cushons on the tops of the doors (with the panels off of course). I believe they moved around with time and due to the lil cotton cushons loosing their cushonish that they need to be adjusted. I delt with it for several months in different ways. Those were the two main ways I used to adjust them. Check out some of my threads from a few years ago if you want more in depth details. That write up here on the tuners forums isnt that great. It just takes alot of tinkering with to get them right and they will still rattle some. I even thought about buying new metal cushons from satan to see if that would help, but I didnt.
 
Did this today so I thought I'd snap some pics...

As you can see my clip wasn't even on the track, when you put it back in make sure it's on the track.

Since doing this wonderful mod, my passenger door makes a horrid knock sound coming from the opposite end of the door where the slider is. The glass is clearly hitting on something.
Is there anything to "fix" on that end of the door as well?
