So,
In a mission to remove as much of my 5's interior I decided to take off the door panels today. (only to find the passenger one is fairly knackered).
Anyway... reason was to start to look at the electric windows.... seems the passenger side is completely different from the drivers... think it may have been replaced at some point.
It looks like this... also on the passenger side I think the window is not quite getting right to the very top and there's some blue plastic effort flopping about in there?
It's all coming out at some point for a proper service and to replace the passenger window after I scratched it to buggery (another story)
Anyway... what do we think... is this a spurious part? Do I replace it? I've put some silcone lubricant on the rubber channels for now which has improved things quite a lot (as in you could prob use the window now) however I need a better/more permanent solution.
The passenger side is the worst out of the 2.
