A lot of movement with passenger door frame/wind noise?
Hi everyone - this bolt came from inside the door panel (passenger side, bottom of door frame). It doesn't want to tighten....is there a nut for this bolt? Perhaps the screw somehow became stripped? Anyone know what its called? I've been getting some wind noise in the cabin and i noticed there is a lot of play in the door frame especially around this bolt - i can easily slide the door frame side-to-side down by the location point for this bolt.
Thanks in advance! .

If the same size bolt doesn't tighten, you probably stripped out the nut/threads. Try the exact same bolt 1st, but it that doesn't work you can either see if napa or some other fastener supply store has a self tapping bolt that's one size up or you can get one size up and try tapping the treads to the larger size.
Just an FYI, the door window frame is held in place by two of the bolts, one on each side of the frame, at the very bottom of the door. There is a torx bolt that hold the frame near the top of the door, on each side and a 13 mm bolt just below the mirror, accessed through a hole in the door itself. You may be missing more than one bolt if you're able to move the window frame as much as you say.
