Tim Parker at SBC installing metal window brackets

[VX KAT]

I had Tim Parker at SBC install his metal window brackets last week in my VX. I took several pictures to serve as "how to" guide for others. The cure time for Liquid Nails is 18 hrs. The full size pictures are in my gallery with some more detailed descriptions & instructions on each picture. Here they are basically IN ORDER. Hope this helps! The windows work fantastic now!

looks like he complicated a simple process. Why remove the windows when it can be done in the tracks? Just my 2 cents

Removing the window isnt that hard...

...plus it makes the removal of the old pieces/prep of glass for new glue ..
.. WAY easier.

The only thing i can say if isuzu were more into fixing this window issue in the earlie years many of us wouldn't had to deal with it.
Looking at Mr tim how he performed this job just makes me mad at suzy (isuzu).
Thank god i was able to fix mines with little effort

Her tabs were not broken ! She was getting ahead of the game and replacing them before she needed too. So basically the extra 3 seconds to pull the glass up and out made things easier on me.

Okay Tim. I didn't know. When I did the mod with the brackets you made which are GREAT, I justlowered the window down far enough to see the plastic tabs which were not broken, took a piece of duct tape on the outside of the glass and over the top of the door to support it, unbolted, flat tip screw stick to bust the tabs, some epoxy in the channel of the new bracket, slipped on the glass, lined up the bolts while epoxy was still wet, removed tape, ran window up and left it for 24 hours. Year, or the best part later, haven't looked back

'bob's your uncle'

crotchrocket can explain that one to you

I removed the window too... it's literally a 3 second process... Just a weird angle and it's out... I used Contractors grade Hot Glue... Haven't had a problem since...

It was the very very first thing I did to my VX... as the window tab broke 2 minutes after I bought the VX... got home, got online (here) found out about the brackets... ordered them, installed them in the driver's side (haven't done passenger yet) in less than 30 minutes...

I drove down to his shop, about 100 miles away, in the Eastern part of Phoenix, and he installed them there.

Sue, did ya get a peek at Tims sweet blue wrapped VX?

Tim, I spot a couple of boards in the background of your shop there...where you been ridin the waves?

Brackets definately add stability add give some adjustment.

Just got my brackets today, dang that was some fast shipping!

Now being all-thumbs, and very few tools, I hope installing them is as easy as everyone is saying.

The gallery indicates a dremel tool was needed to remove the old tabs? Is that correct?

Razorblade took mine off easily and mine were not broken
