I've noticed that my windows have started rattling a tiny bit when
driving. Lowering them just a touch clears up the problem.
Any suggestions (other than turning up the stereo) would be greatly

I replaced the mirrors in my E36 with Euro style mirrors.  I like them
enough that I'd like to do the same with a 2004 E46 M3.
