It s awhile since I have worked on my doors, but the stop you are 
talking about (I think) is  either the screw that holds the top of the 
window track, or part of the assembly on the front of the door. (maybe 
someone else can clarify).  However, you should really consider doing a 
complete overhaul of everything in there, since much of window 
replacement requires two people and removal of upholstery panels 
anyway.   You can pry the base off (with gloves and safety glasses) and 
Rick at SS supplies instructions for the new base liner.
