Fixing that little rust spot...

Question to the gruppe: I'm looking for knowledge on the parts inside the door. It seems I'm missing parts in my car.

The exploded views from BMW show it #12, at the bottom in the drawing, that seems to be missing in my car on both sides:

the associated parts number(s) are

51326746102​

51326746103​

which usually indicate that they are 'handed'; a left and right version possibly exist.
From a purpose perspective, I think they are designed so that the window does not go too high up.

I do have a piece of similar shape, but it is located at the top & inside of the door. It also seems to be different in number of holes, and it clearly not screwed to the window track -bearing block but to the door.

Can anyone confirm if the #12 indeed exists?
Would anybody have a picture of it?
Anyone have 2 for sale?

Erik, those #12 brackets are mounted at the bottom of the sliding mechanism, and seems to me they are a mechanical stop when the window goes all the way down. I am not surprised yours are missing. I have noticed that when removing them your window can go a little lower inside the door. Which I really prefer, because the windows don't totally disappear inside the doors. the little edge that remains out is not comfortable when you're "resting" your elbow on the door.
