Anyone found a solution to the window crank handles rattling around?

If there is a slightly rough stretch of pavement on the highway and I'm going just the right speed I've noticed my window crank handles on my full doors will rattle back and forth slightly enough to annoy me and everyone else in the Jeep. Normally I just turn the stereo up until I can't hear it or pretend like I don't notice it when I'm talking to a passenger in hopes it goes away, but I'm wondering if anyone has found an easy solution to keep them in place. This is definitely me being nitpicky but it's literally the only rattle I have in my TJ right now.

Maybe an additional 50 cent foam spacer or something from Home Depot?
 
Take the handle off, there should be a piece of circular foam tape between the disc under the handle and the door panel. That foam gets flat. Buy some foam tape and make new ones. If the tape is missing, the inner hole is 3/4" and the diameter of disk is 1 1/2". Attach the tape to the disc and reassemble.

I had a 66 mustang with the same problem. I took the handle off, put a small piece of electrical tape over the crank and smashed the handle back on. Job done.
