If you are talking about the little rubber piece that holds the window in place, it is part of the roof's weather stripping

Are you referring to the metal clip at the top of the door window on the hardtop?

Yep, did a search with that number and it looks like it. Anybody know if these come in pairs?

Was playing with moving the existing clips to help tame wind noise from the glass getting sucked outward at higher speeds. It helped a lot.

Thought I might add another set (one toward back and the other near front) to tweak further.

Thanks for the info.

I can already tell you that just moving the existing ones made a very noticeable difference. I moved them from the front trim screw back to the third screw. This upped the spreed at which the wind noise was originally getting beyond unruly by a good 10mph, and even then it is now not getting near as bad at even higher mph. Considering the size of these windows, it seems to me that double clips should have been the logical design from the start.

Someone else (can't remember who) had posted recently about moving the existing clips and indicated the same improvements. CREDIT TO THEM for this easy improvement. I think two sets of clips would be "the shizzz"... ya know... "Farm out dude"... (and all that stuff)
