[W126 Coupe] Looking for a window regulator

I was just in the garage looking closely at the whole assembly.  I see that
there is a metal rail that the window sits in.  Does that metal rail just
rest on top of the regulator?

I noticed that on the front and back of the window there is two square metal
blocks that press against the window.  Are these just pressure plates?

I like the idea of using blocks of wood to support the window.

Thanks a million for all your help!
