   Thinking it was my wind deflectors causing this I took them off to find it still does it. It is the window rattling about, I'm having the doorcards off tomorrow to depin and fit anti rattle clips.
   Is the window fix likely to be an easy thing just a few bolts need tightening up?
   
   Oh and its worse when closed.

   Are they electric or manual windows?
   
   I'd be looking at the window mechanism either way, I've seen it on a few cars where the bolts have become loose over time... Careful if they are as i've had one before mangle the mechanism. Fiddly job to do it on your own!
