There's a little white plastic guide on the front rail of the driver & passenger windows in the X100 XKR convertibles. I'd advise printing this one at 100% infill, and I'll explain why.
When your windows are properly aligned, this part really does nothing. Where it comes into play is if the alignment is off. If it's a little off, it'll help it into the stripping. If it gets royally hosed, it acts as a sacrifice part to jam up the window so it doesn't barrel full force into something less replaceable, maybe break your glass for you, dent something, tear something else, whatever. At 100% infill, it bends up and jams up the works just like it's supposed to.
How I mounted this, instead of the two little bumps that the OEM used, was to use some machinist's transfer tape. It's just a high strength piece of razor thin transfer tape, thickness of .005"
I did lightly sand the corners and the faces that would hit the tape, just enough to break the edges and the layer lines, made it a little smoother to plug in.
I included pictures of the original (smashed) white plastic part, and my printed part installed.
