'70 Jav has these window "guides" (for lack of a better word) that the
window rests on as it is rolled up towards the weather stripping. Problem is that they mar the glass and squeak. The noise drives me a little nuts and the problem occurs with both door glass. Here's a pic of the "guide" below. Replace guides or some other solution?  |

I have removed them in the past with no ill effects. An alternative would be to apply plasti dip to re coat them.

Plasti-dip works well. For restoration work, I removed the roof rail retainer from the car and then removed the clips from the retainer. CR Lawrence sells the rivet removal/install tool and 1/8" tubular rivets can be sourced from a fastener house.

You can also bend them back a bit so they don't touch the glass.
