Default Door Squeaky after window auto-down fixed....can I tighten it up?

The dealer changed my window switch, but not the door panel feels...looser, and it squeaks. If I push on the door panel, it gives a lot more than my passenger side, which has never been worked on. Is there anyway, I can make the tighter?

Thanks in advance....


PS. Damn window regulator broke 30 minutes after I got it home from the dealer! I'm going to try the fix from Xaznx.

There are 2 screws and 6 plastic "latches" that hold the door panel in place. The screws are in the handle. I would bet they lost a few of the plastic latches and did not bother to reinstall them. All dealers stock these, and you should check to see if this is the issues.



Here is how to remove the door panel http://www.lucidautomotive.com/guides/doorspeaker/

The last time I had the dealer (try to) fix the auto-down, there was a really annoying squeak. I eventually took the door off and found that the bolts that hold the regulator were just barely started. Tightened them up, and all was good.

Good point.

The last time I had mine done (3 times in all) the tech was green and had never done one before. I helped him (having seen it done twice already)
