Loose windows...
 
Is anyone else here able to basically yank their windows back and forth (with it rolled down half way) as if there was nothing holding them in?

I can do this side-to-side and up-and-down. It will literally move a centimeter in each direction. It's worse than it looks in this picture below. Would I be able to bring this in and get it fixed?

There are two screws that secure the glass (see attached pic)
Remove the inner door garnish and you should see two hole covers for these screws.
With the window raised roughly 1/2" (so you can grab the top of the glass), loosen both screws and ensure the glass is bottomed out (DON'T lift the glass out).
Then tighten the screws.

I have the same problem.

I am going to have to check out what Jon316G posted up about it. I just never had the motivation to remove my door panels after I installed my new speakers.

I think you have been driving too fast around left hand corners and loosened them.

Have you had work done to your door from the dealer?

I just think its interesting that you have a loose window AND a loose door handle (that you posted in another thread).
