Default Partial SOLUTION...

My window is only open slightly all winter, up to 3 inches down. No rattle because the rubber of the ESAM's window visor holds it in place without any shaking. As you lower the window, when equipped with the ESAM's, you can see how the rubber acts like a squigge until the window is more than 3 inches down and clear of the visor. After that you are on your own. In the summer, when A/C is in use, the same solution works. So I don't really have that shaking/ratteling problem.
I will try to post a photo of this unique visor with it's sqigge like rubber flange that makes an air tight seal that allows for surpurb air flow OUT at the A piller area. It is hard to take a picture of, but I will try.

Default ESAM's hold window in place...

Here are some photos of how ESAM's visors hold the window in place. Once the window is lowered below the rubber gasket/flange/sqiggie/thingy, it will still rattle, but this is a partial solution and it works for me.





If the space shuttle had window visors, they would be ESAM's! I got mine from Carson's Toyota for $230 plus $10 shipping. A great product that is far superior to anything made in the U.S.A. by us lazy slobs.

Anyhow, back to the subject: Yeah mine rattle cause of the cheezy tracks are too loose fitting. It's too loud to drive around with the windows down anyway. I just keep mine up and use the climate control.

I'd say just squeze the tracks closer together so there isn't as much slop. Just don't over do it so the window drags excessively. Or add some layers of tap on the backside of the rubber track linning to help tighten it up. Sounds like a cheap fix either way
