Window clank help

A few months ago I started noticing my driver's side window would make a clunking/clanking noise whenever I would drive over a bump.
The last time I had the car serviced I told them about the noise and they replaced the glass stabilizer (part no SU003-01616) under warranty. After I got it back the clanking noise went away for a few weeks, but now it's starting to come back and it's driving me CRAZY!

I've searched the forums and although I have found similar posts, none seem to be exactly the issue I am dealing with.
Ultramaroon posted a useful PDF in this > thread < and I'm using one of his pictures for reference.





As far as I can tell the noise is coming from the top left corner of the door, circled in blue. I've read that bolts #4 and #5 are used for adjusting the lateral position of the window. My suspicion is that one of these bolts has loosened over time and is causing the window to make the awful clanking noise. Also, from what I have read they are supposed to use loctite, so maybe they forgot to apply some and that what is causing the loosening of the bolt?

I'm considering going back to the dealership to have them take another look. Ideally it should be covered under warranty like the glass stabilizer, but my anxious mind fears that it wont be. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might resolve this issue? As stated before, the noise is driving me insane.

Thanks in advance
