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?

The  fuzzy strips have a very hard backing.  So, you can use a small pick to
get  them moving in the track then grab the end and pull.  Maybe you will
need to remove the slider window, I don't remember but it seems as tho that's
what I did.   Those plastic end caps on the bottom rails just push in  there and
many of them are now falling out.  I would glue them in there  with some
black RTV silicon so they stay there.  They need to be removed to  get the slider
out of it's track.  Move the slider to the centre of the  track and pry it
out.  You may need to jack the track apart a bit using  some wooden posts that
are a bit longer than the opening, jam them in there, and  that will pry open
the frame to get the slider out, lift up and out at the  bottom.
