Permanent Fix for the plastic window tabs

[Solitude]

SO DO THESE WORK??? I am literally adding them to my Christmas list - yest I still make a list. Why not? I still make my parents make one too.

YES.. SBC installed these for me today.. (glad I live in the valley) and yes it is overwhelming to pull your window out of the door.. but I figured "Hey, it wasn't attached to anything anyway.. ya remove the old tabs.. hot glue the new bracket on.. (make sure the window is lubed when it comes out and it should go right back in lickety-split.

for those of you having troubles.. picture 2 plastic tabs holding on to a 10-lb window.. then picture a metal brace 7 inches wide holding up the same weight.. It was money well spent as far as I am concerned..

Thanks again Tim.. you helped me out alot.... even helped the tilt go away.. but I am sure that the lubing will still need to be done regularly to keep'em that way..

My main problem is the tilt issue, the lube doesnt seem to help the matters either and I have tried the washer trick (it made mine worse).

well the passenger window tilted before the brace was installed.. and now it doesnt.. tabs on the driver's side broke and the passenger's side were gonna break soon.. they were bending at the base of the window.. the new bracket doesn't bend like plastic.. anyways.. was my 2cents.. good luck

The washer trick is NOT for the tilt adjustment.
You have to adjust the glass to the rear to remove the tilt.

The washer trick is for the pinching, where the glass is trying to push outward of the guides and you see the glass on the wrong side of the rubber.

I had that issue as well, and the washers seem to have only made that worse as well. The washers made the window push even further out of the track.

The number of washers used, is different for every window.
It is important to make the glass rest on the nylon pad, in the middle of the lift arm, unbolted, near the top and near the bottom.

Wow, I am an over achiever.... Had these for about 6 months now and still have not installed them. I dont really have any window issues currently since I did the old bracket bend fix, so I guess these are a backup plan if anything.

OK Pro Cras tin ate... I was one of the first buyers.. and finally did put them in.. but then again.. the window had left the tab.. and they were just communing on a temporary basis.. I knew it would break sooner or later and had the time finally.
