While I was rewiring my doors with new speaker wires, I found this piece had fallen to the bottom of the door. Any idea where it goes, and HOW I CAN PUT IT BACK? Thanks.

Not sure what it's called but it puts pressure on the window. It's attached to the black molding that goes on the outside and runs along the top of the door. To take the top molding off all you have to is lift up and it unclips. I believe you first have to loosen the triangle looking part that's at the front of the door (part that has the window track) in order to remove the molding at the top out side of the door. Hope I didn't confuse you.

That's a window guide. If you use your window when there is some ice built up in the base of the window, it will pull that off. You will have to use a little epoxy to stick it back on. Once it pulls off, it will not stay by itself as most likely the little prongs are broken or bent out of shape.
I did a complete write up on where this thing came from and where and how to put it back. Unfortunately, that was years ago on the old forum format and that thread didn't make it to here.

Use the other window for reference.
Here's some picks that might give you a clue:

thanks!

So it won't hurt to not have that on right?

Not really, it keeps the window tracking in a finite path. Without it, in time, the window will start to get loose and you may have problems aligning it once the other parts have been stretched or bent. Resulting in wind noise and a loose window.
