    I have had mine for months, but failed to install them. For a bit, I totally forgot about them, then I cleaned my house up because I was having an appraisal done and WHALAH, there they were, heh. My garage is a disaster so I doubt I even have the room to do it, which means clean the garage or wait until spring.

    I suck.

    So these new brackets not only replace the plastic tabs but also fix the leaning issue?

    My passenger side window leans pretty bad.

    I havent noticed any leaning except for forward. I have to hold the window towards the back of the door to make sure it doesnt get stuck in the track. Both windows get stuck by the arrow in the pic.

    Between Tim's adjustable window tabs, and My spacer trick, every possible problem/adjustment should be fixable, with the exception of the rarer problems like the carjacker who shattered the glass, the broken/frayed cable, the missing or broken nylon lift track guides, or the burned-out motor/ broken switch.
    Though I do not have one of Tim's window tabs to test the glass resting on the lift arm (center). I believe he has "done it right"
    The main adjustments are keeping the glass snug to the rear and keeping the center of lift arm under the bottom of the glass, at the top and bottom of it's travel.
    From the above description, I would pull the door panels SOON or leave them up till you do!
