I would also like to know of a solution for this. Usually I lubricate the window track in the spring and fall with a heavier lithium based grease. Seems to help it slide and reduce the amount of play.
I managed to find a NOS window guide plate on eBay for $10 so I snatched it up. I might send it to someone who does plastic and see if they can recreate the bushings.
3d printer, should be cake
Can a 3d printer do any kind of plastic? I wanna say these are nylon maybe?
Something like this?

Or this?

I wrap zip ties fore and aft to recreate the bushing and eliminate play. It helps if your bushings are non existent. It does not solve the problem though, but it does help make rolling up the window a one hand operation.
I was looking at McMaster-Carr last night and thinking of some wear resistant nylon blocks and make my own. That will be later on after I do soooooo many other things.

A man has got to know his limitations.....
3D printers use either ABS or PLA.
PLA is water soluble, and probably not a great solution.
When I have time, I'll look into printing some of these in ABS.
If someone wants to make the CAD drawing, it would speed up the process.

I tried ordering the parts from both those vendors and they say they aren't available.
I can 3d print these in nylon if I can get one to copy. Should last a long time!!! LMK
I could send you the new one. Would you have to remove the bushings?
Maybe, maybe not. I could test fit it on my window track.
any update?
