Permanent Fix for the plastic window tabs

[MustangO4]

BTW I still have my metal tabs that I ordered from SBC because I didn't need them if anyone who does wants to buy them off me instead of getting him to make more for you!

i resorted to a label on my door panel that says "pull front of glass up when raising"..........Im tired of this issue---maybe these parts will help.

I know that this is a old thread, but is this fix still availible? My driver side window tabs have been brolen, repaired and now beyond repair. I haven't rolled my window for almost 2 years and it's annoying. Also, can you recommends some glues besides hot glue?

MarjiJ,

I used black RTV (in case I needed to move it - cures to a rubber consistency). You can pick it up at any automotive store.

Others used Liquid Nails. You can pick it up at any hardware store.

Has anyone replaced these with window in or must the window be removed. Just had all my windows retinted.

You can fix them while they are in.

You just have to duct tape the windows up (from the non-tinted side) while you work on the lower part.

Did both windows in July and so far holding in place well. Nice to be able to use windows again. Brackets on mine were not broke but OEM design allows to much movement, also take dent rubber window guides out of door and trim to allow window to move without binding. I feel slant issue is duevto binding that leads to broken tabs. Use good strong adhesive to meet yourvtemperature conditions. Replace those junk speakers while doorsbopen too...

UPDATE:

Drivers side window tilting (bad) - I think one of the plastic tabs completely gave up the ghost. I've got the SBC bracket ready to install though.

Pass window - still tilts some but goes up with a little help. It may be time for the bungie cord fix.

Its the bees knees of lubricants. Its a dry silicone lubricant. I believe Ldub uses it as well.

I had to buy it on Amazon, nobody locally had it. Imagine my phone conversation with the lady at the Ace Hardware....

"yeah Hi, I am looking for Jig-a-loo lubricant"

Jig-a-loo won't help the drivers side. 2 Reasons:

1. I ditched the rubber in the front track years ago & replaced with felt.

2. glass was almost sideways after I heard the snap.

Maybe I'll go ahead and install the OEM weather strip that I got from KAT.
