    I know that this is a old thread, but is this fix still availible? My driver side window tabs have been brolen, repaired and now beyond repair. I haven't rolled my window for almost 2 years and it's annoying. Also, can you recommends some glues besides hot glue?

    MarjiJ,

    I used black RTV (in case I needed to move it - cures to a rubber consistency). You can pick it up at any automotive store.

    Others used Liquid Nails. You can pick it up at any hardware store.

    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.
