1955 Rocket 88 help!! - door piece that's missing

Good morning friends-

I don't post much, but I could really use some help.
I was hoping someone could help me identify a piece that is missing on the driver, and passenger side door.

At the very top of the door there is a hole (picture) that looks like it should hold the windshield into a "channel". When I drive or close the door....the windshield rattles back and forth. I have to "carefully" close the door, or it rattles around.

I just KNOW there is a missing piece here, and I'm turning to the good folks here who know what it called, or part from Fusik???

Thanks in advance,
Ned

Another pic / question

There is an oblong hole beneath it.....do the two hold a track for the window? It's 12" down from the top hole.

Appreciate the help gentlemen, would LOVE to know what I'm missing / need to order.

Straight off eBay. The other hole you need to use is the oblong one half way down the door to attach this channel to

Gentlemen,

I cannot thank you enough. I appreciate the time and effort to not only show me what I needed, but to include pictures.

This is the way I bought the car a year and a half ago, and I am SLOWLY trying to get all the "little things" worked out.

"Marilyn" and I thank you!
