Default Driver Window Noise/Looseness

This has been going on for a while, but now that the weather's getting nicer I'd like to fix it.

Basically if I roll the driver's window all the way up, I get a rattling noise when I go over bumps. I've found that if I just tap the button to lower it for a split second and lower it by even a millimeter the noise goes away. Also, water streaks from outside moisture sometimes appear on the inside of the window.

Any ideas on what it could be? I noticed it shortly after having the tint film removed from my side windows. At first this window and one of the rears used to make a squealing noise when opening/closing which was resolved by greasing the rubber tracks. Was something potentially damaged when the tints were removed?

...anybody?

How about detailed instructions for removing the door panel? At least then I could poke around in there and see what's up before resorting to a dealer for service

Thanks in advance!

Hi Evan,
Could be that the metal links attached to the window are rattling or become loose ?
You would need to gain access behind the door trim - to check that out.

Yeah I was thinking it would be easy to spot the issue if I remove the panel from the door with the issue and from the opposite door and compare them.
