    Horizontal adjustment and "spacers" for the "play" is all the adjustments needed.
    I'm glad your addressing the horizontal problem.

    My only window problem is that it tilts forward when rasing the window. Does this fix that problem. I didnt see a clear answer.

    The brackets should be a vast improvement on the tilting but I don't think it will cure all of your woes. Remember that you will still have glass sliding up a channel of rubber (under pressure). You will still need to perform regular lubrication or spread the channel to relieve the pressure. Hopefully I'll be able to swap out the passenger side rubber on mine with felt (I've already done the drivers side with great success) and take some pix next week.

    Any of you who snikered and had unclean thoughts when you read this - shame on you. I was trying to be technical but laughed when I proof read it.

    BTW, I'll be ordering a set too but I'm not in a rush for delivery.

    I haven't found a cure for the Tilt (On Mine)by adjusting the brackets!!! The tilt in my glass is cause by to much play on the mounting bracket that is connected to the cable.......I made the Metal Clips to (replace) the plastic ones cause the plastic ones were braking! In Bulldoggies case adjusting the clips on his seemed to have cured his tilt problem...so i made horizontal notch's in the metal clips so you guys can play with the adjustments and there is enough metal to grind out if you would like to make vertical notch's as well.
    But like i said....adjusting the clips on mine did not cure the problem so when i get time i will look at the other part of the roller and come up with a fix.

    No, I wasn't looking in this gallery but the one for the home page for Street Boutique Custom.
