        That is quite normal.   That corner guide piece and its sister or

"presume" plastic rivets were the fail  safe device to keep the window from
crushing some poor souls arm, finger or  whatever.  I put them back using
small stainless steel machine screws with  nylock nuts.  They will not come off
again, trust me.  Just don't' get  anything important caught in the window
up mode !

There  is a black fitting, appears to be some type of cable channel loose on
the  cable, just dangling  around.<<<<<<<<<
