Lots of noise

I have an over abundance of noise coming from my drivers side when I hit bumps and seams in pavement. It is now to the point where I cringe and/or slow down when I approach the worst ones I know about. THe noise is rattling and clunking and it all is coming from the drivers side door. I know my outside handle is loose but the window seams loose too. THe passenger side is all tight. I had my dad driver today while I listened and the pass. side is quiet. I did a search and found some good pics and fixes by JamesC on the door handle and lock mechanism rattles.

Does anyone have a similar problem with the window seaming loose?

THe guy I bought the car from a few years ago said the driver side window had been replaced and ever since I have owned the car the noise was there, only now it is gettin worse, much WORSE!! Maybe whoever did the job bent something or didn't tighten something. Also with the window open part way, the glass has a lot of play side to side and that does not seam normal. My dads 02 Lincoln had no window play and even my sisters POS saturn has now play in the window.

ANy suggestions are helpful. Thanks in advance.

Side to side "towards the int and outwards to the exterior" ? If so then I would presume they didnt tighted this bolt that controlls the position of it. If its moving from the front to back then theres two bolts to tighten down. Go here to learn how to properly adjust the windows https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/t...owadjust.shtml
