drive side window seems to be doing something alarming

I got my first rattle! Yay... it's been getting a little worse so I thought I would ask.

It seems my driver side window (at least that is sort of where it sounds like it's coming from) is like "loose" almost and is sort of sliding against the housing when I accelerate or brake... it's like it shifts a little bit, or something on that door does and makes a sound halfway between a rattle and a shake.

Has anyone figured this one out? I did a search and all I found was someone said the dealer put goo all over his window to try to muffle the sound.... not a solution I am interested in!

I had a noise similar to this and found it was where the side view mirror panel meets the door was creating a rattle/spuel. To test this grab your mirror an lift it up and down. To fix mine I simply pryed the panel any from the door and slid in a couple pieces of black electrical taper where it contacts the door.
