Annoying rattling sound inside driver door

Here are some more pictures I took while doing the passenger side.

I just replaced my drivers side regulator to cure the rattle. Not a super hard job. Just spent some time getting the window aligned after reassembly. After some of these comments I will take another look at the one I took out. I assumed the problem was some play in the track from all the up/downing every time you open the door. The part itself wasn’t that expensive. $133 shipped to me. There are aftermarket ones too. Not much price difference though.

Well, like CyFI6 said, a replacement doesn’t exactly fix the issue. Could you please take a detailed video of the window regulator, and show which piece is the one that rattles?

do you have a link to the A/M unit (driver side) I can't even find a new OEM, only used & no A/M ones. I believe the A/M units are built in a way that is supposed to eliminate this problem?

Thanks!

Here's another potential cause of a rattle in the door when the window is up: There's a plastic adjuster that rides in the window regulator track, and it stops against a metal tab. (See photo for these two points, circled in red.)
When the two parts meet, it can cause a rattle. I fixed my rattle by simply adding a small rubber pad on that metal tab, where the plastic adjuster meets it. Super easy fix (once you pull off the door panel and then remove the regulator!)
