Default Tint rubbing through on the inside drivers window.

Well lately I've noticed the top back side of the window is starting to show wear like it's been rubbing on something rough, this is on the inside btw, and it's about a half inch square size portion. It's rubbed threw the tint almost.

I rolled the window down, and had the weather stripping/window sweeper peeled back, and noticed it goes right over some kinda bracket with something over it to keep it from scratching I suppose.

I guess I have to remove the door panel and replace that? what exactly am I looking for? wondering if I have to get it at a dealership or something.

Thanks!

Also, I've been noticing something moving around in my door, so i got a flashlight and looked all the way down, it's like a piece of rolled up weatherstripping, or maybe a window seal, im not sure, very strange.
