Permanent Fix for the plastic window tabs

[Bulldoggie]

Here are the photos of my installation:
Here I have circled the plastic tabs on the window track that seem to be way more loose on my passenger side then the drivers side for some odd reason:

It seems though that the bracket in the middle of my passenger side that attaches the window to the metal guide is what is really loose. It has plastic on it and seems like that is simply loose, but I cannot complain, it seems this issue is almost completely solved by using these upgraded metal tabs.

Great picture, BTW
Just to clarify what I have been using for terminology;
The metal horizontal piece the window tabs bolt to, I have been calling that piece the "regulator arm".
The vertical part is the regulator track, the plastic pieces are the arm guides.

When the arm is pulling away from the track....
That is the main reason for the "spacer fix"

From your picture it looks like just a few on the bottom track bolts will do.

The other (or same) reason for the spacers, especially at the bottom, is to align the track with the path of the window glass.

If the glass has a tendency pinch the rubber weatherstripping...or push outward....


Please wait for me to upload crude drawing.....

That is my problem right there. My drivers window just dropped on me the other day. Popped open the door to find the plastic "arm guides" broke... DOH! the windows pulls away from the track and eventually just took the tabs out with it...

BTW your plastic guides are not loose, they are attached to the arm.
That is the window pulling the regulator arm away from the regulator track.
or the door panel pulling the track away from the glass? Same thing!

Small Tip; I found it easier to put the window and tabs in place, then glue and close the window to set in place, before the glue sets.
That way the glass is centered to the opening. no waiting!
