    Tim, I have had a few jar's of kentucky's finest, sooooooooooooooo,... maybe I'm not see your website below the customer's gallery. Anyway, made for horiz. adjustment, that means the tilt problem right? Some are in need right now, so will stay in touch since mine are well lubed, or is it me that is,... not sure right now, but it is the 4th so who gives a hoot.

    When you open up his site, the options are on the left side. You need to scroll down using the slider (not the correct term I am sure) next to the options and you will see it there.

    Payment sent and thanks for working these up.

    Dark- So this cured the tilting problem? My passenger window tilts forward when raising. Would this cure it?

    Also how easy is this install and what other parts accesories are needed to complete it?

    Thanks.

    My window would tilt to the left (looking at the door from inside the car). I would hear a major wind noise inside the cab unless I manually tilted it back.

    I used a razor blade to cut it off the existing plastic tabs. After I removed the tabs I found that one had cracked and that's probably why it was tilting. I did not remove the window from the door, I did everything inside it. I then attached the new steel bracket where the plastic clips had been attached. I put in the glue and pushed the window down into the metal bracket. I then slide the window as far to the right (looking at the door from inside the car). I let it dry overnight. It was relatively easy. I've raised/lowered the window about 10 times a day since Sunday so far no problems. This weekend I'm going to check out the bracket and see how the glue is holding up. I'm hoping this is a permanent fix.

    The glue & razor blade were the only things I needed. The mounting screws were included with the bracket.

    You know, if only a Isuzu engineer was a member of this group and would come out with a permant, factory fix as in recall not to take anything away from the fine work of SBC and Bulldog and the rest of the community. It was a design AFU and should of been fixed by them a long time ago. Anyway SBC, thanks for your work. I don't need them today, but will happily support your talent. paypal sent.
