I figured if I was going to go through all of this, I'd add a channel for the rubber wiper to extend across the area where the vent window was. I figured a little more time here will maybe stop one more rattle or scratch on the window.

It a tedious job because it's tight working, but you can cut the remaining metal inside the door, prep it for welding and tack weld a channel in. Since this isn't structural, I was able to get enough tack welds to hold it securely that should hold up over time.

I actually got the channel from Specialty Power Windows where I bought the electric window kit. I noticed the channel they use for the spring track was a perfect size to fit the wiper. I needed to place an order anyway for the door jam conduit, so I asked them to toss in a couple 1' pieces and they did. They seem to have a quality product and want to please their customers.
