I'm about halfway through upgrading the ribbon regulator on my 86 to a scissor but ran into an issue while adjusting the glass so that it goes up/down evenly.
The window seems to go up about 1/4 inch too far so that the top front corner presses into the weather stripping too soon and prevents the door from closing without breaking the glass. After much fidgeting with the adjustors inside the door, I realized the rubber bar inside is loose and bends against the stopper when the window goes all the way up. (Pic of the part attached - far right)
Most of the threads I've seen are for late models with the plastic stopper. Is an 86 supposed to have the plastic stopper and guide later models have? If not, any suggestions on how to fix/replace the loose rubber part, as it doesn't seem to be removable.

Is this an upgrade for the 86' or is something that came on later models? Thank you.
