Thanks Frank, I missed that part number!

So how do you replace the fuzz strip? Looking at it, it appears you would
need to remove and disassemble the window. If you say it is 'easily
replaceable', though, I must be missing something.

But... after some more looking I am now thinking that, though toast, the
fuzz strip is not my problem anyhow, but instead the "guide bushing"
281847723B. Those are both missing from the rattling window, but not
missing from the not rattling window. This appears from the ETKA
illustration to be a very small part... but does it just slide in from
the end, or do you need to somehow remove the window from the channel?

Slightly puzzled,
- Doug

Doug et all, that fuzzy strip is easily replaceable. I've done it many
times. The part was still available from VW when I ordered it last in
June 07.
