Permanent Fix for the plastic window tabs

[VXNIT]

Has anyone replaced these with window in or must the window be removed. Just had all my windows retinted.

You can fix them while they are in.

You just have to duct tape the windows up (from the non-tinted side) while you work on the lower part.

You can remove the window from the door without hurting the tint. It only takes a few seconds and makes the repair much easier.

Just sent my Paypal to Tim, can't wait to have window functions again....

I finally tore apart my LF window to replace the broken factory holders with the SBC bracket and it went smoothly. IMO the best way is to mount the bracket to the regulator, goop up the SBC channel with RTV, have the glass already in the channels almost to the top (so it is in more of the rubber guide channels and rested), move the regulator up to mate with the lines I made where the old holders were, and slip the glass in the channel. Remove the excess RTV and let it set up. I did not have to do any adjustments and the window works great with no binding or problems. It is nice to have my LF window back after 2 months of not using it!!

WooHoo - great work.

The only thing I would add is to try and mount the SBC bracket a little farther forward than the original tabs were. This should help with the tilting problem but there isn't much play so you prolly won't be able to do much without 'stretching' the holes on the bracket.
