sliding window questions
 

I've got a few questions concerning the rear slider window. On the rear slider portion of the rear set of sliding windows the glass offsets up about a 1/2". Lodged in that area I found this short piece of stainless with a piece of rubber stapled to it. I haven't any idea what it's for or why it's there. By looking at it I'm pretty sure it has something to do with why the glass offsets up. Does anyone know what it's for or why the glass offsets up, all I can do is scratch my head. I've attatched a few picture to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
I'm in the process of rebuilding my sliding window frames. The frames are in excellent shape but the glass run channels and the pieces of beltline are really bad. Has anyone rebuilt these before and what did they use part numbers would be helpful.

I've looked at these pictures before but see no sign of the piece I'm looking for. Someone has had to of run acrose this piece before, it's definatly factory installed. I just don't know where.

Looks like a bumper so the sliding glass does not impact the frame. Just guessing.

The top 2 pieces look like the main parts to the slider locks. To me at least.

I'm trying to remember where that parts goes, but I can't think of it at the moment.

If I remember correctly, the Truck Shop in Orange Ca. sells rebuild seals and gasket kits for the Suburban sliders. Also, if you go to one of the weather stripping suppliers, you should be able to find most if not all of the individual pieces you will need. I have bought the glass run channels for the sliders in 8 foot lengths, at a local swap meet from a weather stripping supplier. I just don't have a part number for it.

I had to replace one of my channels, so I went to the hardware store with a piece of the original channel, and got some new channel, cut it to size and it's in there to this day...about 20 years now.

I never did get an answer as to where that piece goes. I rebuilt all my sliders and could never figure out where it goes so I did without, but would still like to kinow.
