Mystery Green Wedge/Shim(?) from Inside Driver's Door - Possible Regulator Part?
Greetings,
Over the last year and a half of me owning my 2004 SL500 I have sometimes heard a loose part in the driver's door upon closing. Well, my window regulator went out recently and upon inspecting the inside bottom of the door I found this mysterious green colored wedge/shim. I have looked at MB parts diagrams and cannot identify it.
Is anybody here familiar with this item, where it goes, and what its function is? Also, I would appreciate any hints on the re-instillation of the regulator, lubrication of the motor, alignment of the glass, etc.
Thanks in advance.

I think there is only one green piece. Here is a screenshot of the backside of that window support which may help.
Thanks a lot. I think this is very helpful. It shows where the only tab on that green wedge sticks up and where it is mounted.
I would like your opinion on something else. I ordered a used replacement regulator apparatus that is complete on eBay. It looks to be in very good condition. But I also ordered a repair kit. Do you think I should go ahead and try to “restring” the used one or just go with it the way it is? I think someone, maybe you, said it was very difficult to restring these things.
If it's in good shape, I would use it as is.
I would also clean the rails really good and add a little lithium grease on the rails where they meet the green and blue pads.
