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.

Who all have purchased these and how have they performed? I would like to be able to roll my windows down again..

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!

Anyone near me, with a window problem, want to get together and make a video of me adjusting their window?
I will process the DVD copies and make them available to all for cost. about $2.00
Oh! and I will adjust your window for free labor!

Not to be a naysayer, but believe me, this is not a miracle fix-all for the window issues. It certainly addresses the broken tabs, but if your windows bind or tilt, there may be some additional tricks and adjustments needed to get them working correctly again. I have one of these brackets installed in my passenger door, and it took both the washer trick and bending out the railing just to make this window semi-functional again. It's still not 100%, but could probably be fixed with some additional tweaking. My driver's side window still has the original brackets and actually functions a bit better than the one with the new bracket.

I will be placing an order for these brackets myself, as I do believe they are PART of a permanent solution (and I owe one back to the donor of my passenger side bracket ), I just want to make sure everyone is aware that each window is different and your results will vary, even from one window to the other.

So what's the deal with the video?
