Subject:sliding window spacers
From:Gary Shea

Hi folks -- Has anyone attempted to replace the plastic (or metal
maybe?) silver s-shaped strips that are attached to the bottom of the
sliding windows?  I've reviewed many conversations in the archives
about problems with sliding windows not locking, but they've all
seemed to be about the furry little strip that holds the windows away
from the inside of the window channel.  The silver strips on two of
my van windows (right sides in each case, go figure...) have worn
down on the bottom from the friction of scraping along the aluminum
window channel and no longer hold the sliding window high enough in
the fixed frame for the latch to engage.

Anyone got a VW part number or a source for replacements?

        Gary
