Default Metal window frame becoming loose

I was looking at Rave but it wasnt clear to me how or if you can tighten the metal window frame, front passenger side. The window seems like a solid fit and is nice and tight, but the framing itself is becoming loose. The metal frame, when you wiggle it, provides a lot of play. When i am on the freeway going 60+ mph, its obvious with all the wind noise that its affecting door closure to some degree.

Thanks for your help!

Matt

Torx bolt on front and rear of door. Move the frame and you will see the bolts move.

For anyone like me who stumbles on this thread in the future, there are also two more hidden bolts inside the door at the very bottom of the frame. For me, the visible torx bolts were tight, but one of the hidden bolts was super loose which was causing that frame to be loose and wiggle. See the bolts labeled "8" here (or page 938 in the RAVE https://discoii.files.wordpress.com/...hop_manual.pdf)

I have found that the bolts inside the door itself tend to get rusty, but they are also the most impactful on a loose window frame. I would check the torx, but also pull the panel off and tighten #8 above.
