I also recommend replacing the sound insulation if the existing is compromised. It's more than sound insulation as It keeps rain water draining down the window in the door and out of the interior. This is also another reason to replace the butyl rope.
righto appreciate replies....butyl rope out here they will gimme finny looks, anyhow i had to replacement 'clips' i bought ages ago as plan on only replacing these if they are indeed what is at fault then again could be the 2 black clips that hold the glass to the mechanism, just curious ALAS the new clips maybe 8 years old now both have a break at point shown. Does anyone reckon they are compromised in their functionality, there is just up and down movement with this item as such ....or else i buy new ones
