When I am closing my doors with the windows rolled halfway down, it looks like the windows is really loose. I want to tighten them up, and get a better quality feeling when closing the doors like that.

Do someone have the same problem? And how can I tighten them up, if it is possible?

I have the same thing happen to me. If you have a hatch, im pretty sure that the loose window situation is more of an epidemic then a single problem for you. Since i can remember having my car, the windows always seemed frail when the window (not fully down, about halfway) was down and the door was being closed (window would vibrate and shake as if about to fall off, but not long only as hard as you close the door) but it seems thats just how it is due to the window design on a hatch back.

I think this is a common problem of quite a few cars that have doors without an upper frame for the window. I don't know if there's a way to tighten it back up, but i've always just closed my door by the door and not the window. My drivers side window still feels tight.

If you take the panel of your door and look towards the bottom of the door in the center there is an adjusting screw you can mess with to tighten things up. I did it when i changed out my window regulator, so I wound up doing both sides, worked well.

Really? Got pics? Wish I had known this when I rebuilt the doors - I'm scared to touch the windows cause I've had to replace them before and it sucked [Then again that was many years ago - I've gotten much better since then]

Sorry no pics, but yeah I think it may have been a nut at the bottom. You bassically tighten it or loosen it and it adjusts the top of your window in or out away from your car.
