Thanks for doing this. Payment sent through PayPal.

Does sending payment always redirect you to Tim parker and thank you for pruchasing AirTribe? Just curious, because I don't own a Motorcycle.

Ummmmm I just noticed, there's no vertical adjustment. Remember the trick of getting the front a little higher??? The window tends to drag on the front channel and tilting up it slightly on the front mount helps.

I guess you could just drill out the regulator arm instead...

Just food for thought.

Good for you SBC!

I do all my stuff at work, no garage at home just yet. Soon though, very soon.

Read back on all the post's !!!
i tried the vertical adjustments on mine and it didnt help the tilt problems....
the brackets im making now have notchs for horizontal adjustments only and enough room for the the buyer to notch it for vertical adjustment if need be...

Bart's fix; of tilting the front edge up, to lessen the drag in the front. Is better accomplished by moving the glass to the rear. (horizontaly)
The glass should stay level to fit the opening.
Only when the glass tilts down in front when raising, is this adjustment needed.

The binding, pinching rubber, broken tabs, "PLAY", can all be adjusted with the "spacers".

I do have a question about the Nylon pad in the middle of the regulator lift arm. (that the glass should rest on when adjusted properly)
Will the glass still rest on the middle of the arm if there is a bar connecting the window tabs? Or is the bar away from the glass edge? Is this a potential issue? Is there a potental need to "grind" a half moon area in the middle to fit this?
If you do the "spacer" adjustment so the glass rests on the arm (unbolted) will your window tabs still fit?
Should members be told to make sure the Connecting bar is glued "away" from the lift arm side of the glass?
Is the connecting bar a channel?

These questions could all be address by cutting the middle portion out!

The connecting bar is a C-Channel.
There are half moon Notchs in the middle ! not on the ones in my pictures as i took those pictures before i did the install into my VX...Before i made a few adjustments to the Brackets ! Like the half moon in the middle and the horizontal notchs...Just didnt take pictures of the final peice cause i couldnt get a good shot of them inside the door...had other work to perform in the shop and needed to pull my car out, so i did the adjustments without taking the windows out completely.
As far as shims? vertical adjustments? I've read all the threads on these fix's before i took my glass out! I tried every thing that has been discussed and none has help with my tilt problem..(So i cant say by adjusting it vertically or horizontally or with shims will fix the tilt problem).Thats why i left enough Metal to notch out if the end user decides they want to try notching it out more one way or the other !
The Metal clips i made fit just like the plastic ones except its all one peice as i see that to be more sturdy and more reliable then plastic as it can be glued one full lenght rather then at two seperate points!
In my case of the tilt problem has nothing to do with the adjustment to my glass...There is to much play at the center point where the window mounts! i will address this problem when i get some time..........I made the metal clips to address the Broken plastic tab problem and the hassel of just replacing them with NEW plastic tabs that will just brake in the future,,,,,,
I sent out 8 orders yesterday....so im sure by the end of next week we will be getting some feedback on these brackets as to how they are working out in other case's !!!!!!!!!
