My  window rattles when I drive and its rolled down a bit or at all....

I  saw some vendors site mentioning a specific rubber stripping that plays  a
roll in this...

Now I can't find that same  webpage...

Anyone have a clue what I need to replace /  buy...

    No need to purchase anything.  Remove the door  panel and look at the
rear edge of where the glass travels.  There is  supposed to be a small piece of
felt or rubber material there glued or somehow  connected to the door to keep
the widow from rattling.  It's most  likely fallen of and at the bottom of the
door.  I've replaced lost ones by  gluing in a small piece of hard foam
material.
