    Just wondering, will this also fix the window tilt problem? Am thinking its bulldoggie that fixed the problem with offsetting the hole slightly to change the way it worked. Is that something you have incorporated in this design or is it not a issue.

    That's the fundamental question... Does the design address the tilt problem, or could they be modified to allow for adjustments left and right?

    If this is a permanent fix, I'm definitely in, and $49.00 shipped is more than fair.

    When i made my first set i punched the mounting holes for Vertiacl Adjustments!!!! It didnt help the tilt problem at all..still tilts slightly!!!! Im working on a solution to the tilting but that will have nothing to do with the clips, the tilt has more to do with the play in the piece that connects to the cable !!! in my case anyways..............There will be holes for Horizontal Adjustments only.

    Tim, I have had a few jar's of kentucky's finest, sooooooooooooooo,... maybe I'm not see your website below the customer's gallery. Anyway, made for horiz. adjustment, that means the tilt problem right? Some are in need right now, so will stay in touch since mine are well lubed, or is it me that is,... not sure right now, but it is the 4th so who gives a hoot.

    Dark- So this cured the tilting problem? My passenger window tilts forward when raising. Would this cure it?

    Also how easy is this install and what other parts accesories are needed to complete it?

    Thanks.

    Horizontal adjustment and "spacers" for the "play" is all the adjustments needed.
    I'm glad your addressing the horizontal problem.
