Piece of driver side window hardware came out

Hi everyone, interested if anyone else has had this happen and if they bothered fixing it (if it is important to fix at all).


I usually park in my garage with my windows down a bit to allow some air circulation. I put my window up today and a piece of window "fuzz" popped out, stuck to the glass, as I raised the window. It appeared frozen onto the window (its been unusually cold here last few days).




Looks like a piece of a bigger strip that broke off. I'm hoping that enough of it remains to stop the glass from being damaged. I guess I could replace this strip if I remove the interior panel? I would probably do a speaker upgrade at the same time. I didn't force the window up, it went up with ease.


Its a 13 FRS with 43000km. I suspect its a bit brittle due to age combined with being frozen to the glass.


Update: Looks like the part is SU003-01616, "Glass Stabilizer", OUTER. There have the same part number regardless of side. It appeared stuck to the outside of my window so I'm assuming its the outer one.


Part #6 in this diagram. Now the question is can I run without it, or should it be replaced?
