Thanks Frank, I missed that part number! So how do you replace the fuzz strip? Looking at it, it appears you would need to remove and disassemble the window. If you say it is 'easily replaceable', though, I must be missing something. But... after some more looking I am now thinking that, though toast, the fuzz strip is not my problem anyhow, but instead the "guide bushing" 281847723B. Those are both missing from the rattling window, but not missing from the not rattling window. This appears from the ETKA illustration to be a very small part... but does it just slide in from the end, or do you need to somehow remove the window from the channel?

I've done it many times. The part was still available from VW when I ordered it last in June 07. 253 847 173 B - Brush Profile - $21.87 CND.
