I haven't solved this problem yet, and hope you can share your solution
when you come up with it. Here is what I do know.
I never had the problem during the first nine years I owned the car. I
still don't have it with the left door. The problem just started with
the right door after an operation in which I changed the adjustment to
the window glass positioning by changing the position of the rear
channel through which the glass slides. Therefore, I suspect that the
problem is more "why does the rubber thingie get knocked out" than
"how do you hold it in."
But I did try to hold it in better with non-corrosive RTV. I was not
at all successful.
The rubber thingie has a feature that looks like it is intended to hold
a rivet, but there is no place in the door for said rivet. It looks to
me like another poor design.
