Driver door window rattle

[foretwoone]

22 Texas trail with under 30k miles. Driver door window rattles pretty bad when open. If I push on it, it goes away. When it's closed it "usually" doesn't rattle but lately it's getting worse. I'm assuming it has something to do with the window track but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to repair it since I'm no longer under the b2b warranty.

Just open up the door panel and make sure everything is tightened down for starters. Check for cracks in the components or anything else. Replacing window tracks isnt too bad of a repair. Easier with a second set of hands but doable on your own. I can’t speak to specifics on a Gladiator, but most of them are similar and have done on a few vehicles.

Adding to this, some newer vehicles are using plastic tracks instead of metal, and when they do...it's often part of another part behind the panel. Means no rusting, but more parts to work with and possibly more cost.
