Anyone have a photo or know if this guide in this diagram should be inside the door itself towards rear of vehicle (at B pillar) for when window is DOWN, or is this guide for above the door and along the window when window is up?

If it's for the A pillar area, anyone know of any guide that should be where I scribbled this line in pink?

If it is the one I am thinking of, it is inside the door near your red x area. They bolt in like the window motor assembly. I have found these are actually pretty critical to get the windows right. They are fairly flimsy metal and can bend easily, so if the window mechanism breaks and it goes off track, these can get bent out of place. No worries though they are easy to bend back, just takes a little trial and error. There is also some weather stripping that goes in them. I glued mine in because they were old and kept falling out...causing more problems with window staying straight.
