I just encountered this on a '91 I'm working on.  One of the windows
wiggled around too much, fore and aft.  When I looked at the other side I
saw the pad.  To me it looked like hard slick plastic, not felt, so I
replaced the missing one with a stick-on furniture glider of that type of
material.  I hope it stays stuck.
