Thank god, it was indeed the plastic piece.
Here are the remnants of what was holding up the window:
EDIT: Is there another piece to this? In your first picture, there is no round plastic piece, in the second window picture, there is. Nothing is at the bottom of my door..

Lane - rear doors used to have a 4/5 piece glass clamp including the nut & bolt. Either Benz changed it or someone has been in there before - I suspect the latter. You must replace that cheap piece of plastic. It's going to give trouble again. Check parts at dealer. They changed the material used in later production but it still looks the same. Put a dab of Locktite on the nut/thread.

Lane I'm used to your sort of glass clamp on SA built cars but using better plastic on later models. Some further research tells me that Benz fitted a number of different regulators in some parts of the world. The only way you are going to make sure you get the correct clamp parts is to go to a dealer with your VIN.
This is another variation of the same theme
The options seem to be either 110 or 120 in this diagram depending on the regulator used - you seem to have one piece missing and I have seen some cars with a round anti rattle foam washer against the glass with the 110 arangement

1999 CLK320 (sold), 2007 C230 SS (gone), 2000 Grand Marquis, 2011 CR-Z, stay tuned...
I'm sorry you have to go through all this! I'm kinda glad now that we rid ourselves of our 2001 C240 early on. I must say, the 2007 SL550 that replaced it was a better choice, LOL. I really hope this is the last of your troubles, Lane. Good luck getting it sorted!

Lane - Is that kit a replacement for the original?
I'm interested to know if it fits your regulator & glass.
i.e. can you use either parts 110 or 120 in the window diagram.
Has 120 superceded 110?

I got it to fit, but the nut is tightened against the glass. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that. The parts person said the other kind wasn't even listed in his computer. He looked at both c240's and c320's.

Found it in the literature for clarification.
