Default window rattle

Is there anything I can do for the window rattle that happens when the windows are down? It looks like the felt pads/guides are worn inside the door. This is the only thing I don't like about my car, not having the door frame the whole way around the window to hold it steady.

Glue padding back where it has worn away it is not that hard to do

What kind of padding, where would I get it, and do I stick it onto existing pad, or start from scratch? Anything is helpful.

I have used just foam padding and cut it down to the size i need and I also cleaned the track the best I could after pulling it out of the door

i had the same problem. i took off my door panel and found that the metal guide at the back edge of the window is cracked loose. it seems to hole the window steady when it is down but both are broken. this is why it rattles. either find some unbroken ones at the JY and maybe beef them up with some metal and a welder or try the pad idea.
