No need to purchase anything. Remove the door panel and look at the rear edge of where the glass travels. There is supposed to be a small piece of felt or rubber material there glued or somehow connected to the door to keep the widow from rattling. It's most likely fallen of and at the bottom of the door. I've replaced lost ones by gluing in a small piece of hard foam material.
