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!

Good idea. Where are you located? Not sure if I am the only one but I have not seen locations listed next to the year/color of VX in the bar above posts since the new server.

Damn, a little too far from VA. Both my windows are f'd. I spend a weekend working on the passenger with spacers and new plastic tabs from GM. It worked about twice and now is messed up again. Going to buy the metal spacers and work on the drivers side sometime.
