i think it is to hold the window in place when its shut (to stop theiving scum to pull the window back) i'm guessing its got the same door set up as the classic scoobys with no metal work around the window?

I have a feeling it is for cars fitted with electric windows. I think it is to guide the window into place as they are motorised, kind of a safety feature. I could be wrong though.

Yes it is a classic, MY00.
Strange how its only got the one.

I wouldn't think its the elec window idea, as it doesn't actually touch the glass. Its fixed on to the body.

i'm 99% sure its to stop someone pullin the window away from the car to gain access

Adzer you are probably right, but its not only on cars that have no metal window surround. If you look on most modern cars they all seem to have it. I remember when I worked for Ford years ago, back when M reg was brand new, Mondeos, Escorts and the like had them back then too. Mind you, thievin scum still existed back then too!

I tought these were rain deflectors for when you are driving along they disperse the rain away from the car once it reaches them.

Could be a million miles out though?!?!?

thought they was to guide the glass and squash it to the rubber seals for leakage and when going at highspeeds and air is forced into cabin through vents the glass stays where it is and not tend to flap out wards so to speak due to not having metal runners to keep glass in place???

not sure what they are for but they should be fitted to both sides not just the passenger side. they were only fitted to UK cars not JDM for some reason

they are to help prevent rain/screenwash from dripping into your car when you have your window open (not that they work) but yes you should have them on both sides mine does
