Managed to remove bracket today. Here is what I did in case it helps anyone
First image shows double sided foam tape, part doubled over to increase thickness, this thicker side will go to 'bottom' of bracket , towards the window stop
Second shows placed on the bracket
Third shows some duct tape on the side towards the window stop : hopefully will make it last a little longer.
Then trimmed to size and fitted.
( by the way tightening the bolt on the windows slide has helped with the rattling : thanks for all the information on here )
Got around to trying to unscrew the l shaped bracket and in very tight. Will try some wd40 on it.
Found one source of rattle : an electrical connector towards the lock bashing against the door over bumps. Some double sided tape hopefully to sort that out.
And a lot of play in the blue thing that holds the window and moves up and down the slide rail. Seems to be only at the bottom of it. Will try and tighten the bottom nut, as I have read. People seem to mention other fixes , but I don’t understand them so far.
Thanks. Will experiment with some double sided draught excluder , doubled over for thickness and wrapped over to go over the metal lip and then to stick to itself . If works will post a picture. Maybe some duck tape for part that would connect with the plastic window stop so that isn’t sticky.
If the rubber has worn out ( found bits of it at bottom of door ! ) will it have the effect of making my side window rattle or just over shoot when closing the window ?
Anyone know of any replacement for just the rubber part ?
That is pretty much what it appears to be ( I purchased it some time ago ). It is really to give away free to someone who can collect it ( a little tricky for you ), but I can take some close up photos if that helps . They often appear on auction websites in the UK for sale.
Thanks : with the replacing of all 4 spheres I obtained a more suitable pump that lets you connect a vacuum pump to make my mechanic friends life a little easier , keeping that pump.
Yes, keeping car and hopefully going to be a daily driver from next year.
