Help!! Identify This Part from the Door

I was in the passenger door of a 2004 MC replacing the actuator. I was pulling the actuator out and heard something fall. It looks like a clip of some sort and I can't find it on any photos of the actuator nor can I find it on any door diagram. Where does this part go? I can't put everything back together until I figure out where the part belongs.

Looks like the thermistor. It's a thermal resistor to prevent the lock mode from overheating the assembly to prevent it from melting when it's held down too long.

Thanks. How does it fit in the actuator? I don't see it in any pictures of the actuator and don't see where it can fit. It looks like a clip of some sort.

Think it's the window regulator mounting hardware. Clips on the sliding point and then slides on the rail.






# 9 Repair kit window lifter Part # 51337177925

Comes in a set to replace two at a time. Sometimes these come off or need replaced due to movement or rattle of the window slid on the window regulator.


Thanks

You are right! Thank you very much. I've been scouring the internet trying to find that part and figure out where it goes. Hopefully I can figure out the configuration (orientation) of the clip.

It was going so good for me yesterday. I've never replaced the actuator so I read up on it. Everything was coming out as planned. It wasn't too bad, then all of a sudden this part jumps out of nowhere and brought the replacement to a screechng halt. Now I should be able to get everything back together this evening.

You are welcome: Here are some more pics of the part and locations. When you check those rails / slider you might see marking where the old part was. Those parts ( kit ) above are also to fix the rattle issues on the older original part.

Here are the common locations.

Bottom corner.

Thanks
