Default Damn Window Felt Thingy lol. It ripped up my tint.

I have a 98 Z28 with tinted windows and I noticed that my tint got ripped by something inside my door jam. I pulled open the rubber guides to see that theres two brackets (metal) that keep the glass in place, Well the front one had a felt piece on it and the back didn't causing it to scrape my window and rip the tint. Anyone know where I can get this felt replaced? Thanks,
Matt

the dealer sells the bracket with felt. Like $8 or so.

On my 98, the back one was broken, and had 2 prongs sticking out, (where it should have had a 90 degree bend with the felt on it)

Luckily i was in the door doing speakers, before i got it tinted.

You would think, that since most replace the window motors...GM would automatically replace the bracket when they R&R the motor. GFF!
My fricken tint has the same problem on the ds window...and I have had warranty on the motor. I feel like going down to where I had the work done and............. I plead the fifth at this point.

its really not part of the window motor assembly. So no need to replace it when you do the motors.

But since your in the doors, might be worth having them at least "check" it.

Yeah, poor design. The "felt things" are used to adjust the glass inward/outward and have alot of pressure on them so they tend to wear out quickly.
