Permanent Fix for the plastic window tabs

[kpaske]

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.

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?

Wondering if one of you 'expert' guys could one day put together a comprehensive guide to fix the window problem. That would be really cool. I realize that so many here have posted different fixes but would be nice for someone who knows more than me about windows to cherry pick the best fixes and write a single fix it all guide

I knew NOTHING about my windows, Driver's side broke 5 minutes after I bought the car. Everyone here said get the SBC brackets, I did. Then I took off my door panel. I had never done it before, and had no idea what I was going to be faced with. But it was a real simple fix. Pop off the old tabs (plastic white tabs) Glue on the new SBC bracket, and reinstall, there's really nothing to it.

I was far from an "expert" when I did it, and it still took only about 30 minutes.

Bulldoggie, myself and another owner got together a couple of months ago and shot a video with Bill (Bulldoggie) narrating, but it never made it off the cutting room floor. If we could get a copy of that footage we might actually be able to put a how to video out... Has anyone seen Eric (Pho2GR4)??
