    So am I to read from this that the SBCs I recently bought (not installed yet) won't fix the window binding problem if there is tilt involved? 'Cause there definitely IS tilt involved. If I simply put a little downward pressure on the B-pillar top edge of the glass as it ascends, it goes up smoothly. I've seen the bungee "fix" for this, but I thought this is what the SBCs were made for.

    The SBC brackets fix the problem for 90% of the owners ... I'm special ... I'm in the 10%.

    Remember though that 63.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    FYI on the bungee fix: My driver side bungee finally broke last month. Not bad for an ultra-cheap, temporary "fix" installed eight years ago. The window functioned perfectly right up until the bungee broke. Never once had to spend time lubing it. Think I'll be doing that "fix" again! This was the fix that lifts the front of the window so the bungee is under tension only when the window is down - not the fix that pulls down on the back of the window i.e., bungee under tension when window is up.
