Door glass runner

Post by HawaiiSpiderman »

My driver's side door glass was only going 2/3rds of the way up so I took off the door panel and found the door handle latch bar had been bent so bad it was hitting the cable-to-glass screw. I guess PO was pushing down hard on the handle to get out because pulling up did nothing due to the stuck cam on the door latch.

Took the latch and handle assembly out, cleaned and lubricated, and bent the bar back to almost normal. Everything working fine upon reassembly.

However, I found one of the glass guides is missing the felt and the glass just rattles in between bare metal.

Has anyone replaced this and can tell me where they got the glass runner felt? It's the one at the rear of the window if that matters.

Thanks!
Aloha
