This is a guide to replace the window bushings on a 1994-1999 Subaru Legacy window slide. From my searches, there weren’t any bushings being sold for this common issue in old Subaru windows so I took some measurements and made an .stl file on tinkercad.

I hope this helps someone. Compared to replacing a full regulator it saves a ton of time and money.
Note: If the window falls all the way down, make sure you get the plastic guide back onto the front most part of the window. It will likely have fallen down into the door. Your window will not function correctly without this plastic guide.
