I just did this for both doors today. Great write-up. Stoop hooked it up on the parts too! My window noise is gone!

Got mine done in the last hour of work...we were slow..lol. Only issue i had was 1 trying to find the holes to get at the bolts. I have my entire door pannel hushmatted, so i had to press and cut. Other than that, when i was trying to get the window back into place, it was a bit fussy. I used a bit of silicone spray on the seal where the window goes into and it goes up nice and smooth now.

I replaced both the passenger and driver side. Thanks for the DIY! It took my under 2 hours to do it and I'm so happy I have no wind blowing in and that my windows roll up/down without an issue! Thanks for DIY!

Also I painted all the silver plastic to Landau Black from SEM so i can add the CF overlays. Hell yeah!

Good DIY! Will come in handy at some point.

Both my channels are torn, I just put some 3m double sided tape in the channel as a temporary fix. This fixed it a little and helped a bit with the wind noise. Ideally some window weld or something to fill the gap would work much better.

Hate the fact that those stupid things are $30+ a piece and no matter what they'll eventually fail again and again. Seems like the channels are sized a hair too small which causes them to tear. When the window is rolled up they are pulled even tighter.

my driver's side window was broken into and this is all torn up... with the window replaced, it struggles to close. a few days ago it totally came out of the track, and now today it wont roll up. will replacing this fix it? fuc...

yea it should if i remember how fucked up they were when i saw your car last, i would suggest replacing them. lemme know if you need a hand/wanna get it done.

hey Bryan ... you didn't see my car when it got broken into; maybe another car? anyway it doesn't roll up properly and i had a friend help me guide it up into the tracks. fuck ... so pissed. i'm gonna order them soon and get it fixed. i'll probably do it on the weekend if it gets here fast enough.

I need to do this !!!

I mean, in that diagram, they're all the same price. It really shouldn't matter at all what part # it is as long as you're getting the correct channel for the side you're replacing.

Is this for when the window doesn't properly close when putting up? That's the problem I am having with the pass side
