    dougie...

    pop off the cover in the tweeter pod (little part on the inside of your door by the mirror)...should be a screw then the pod pulls towards the back of the door..

    pop up the window control area (black area where the grab handle is) electronic side first, then the grab handle side slides out...
    there are 2 screws behing that

    the rest is clips...
    but it wouldnt hurt to download the manual

    Pretty sure that piece would have to be replaced, but as already stated somewhere before, the SBC window fix, widening the tracks on the front (I used a small metal prybar when the glass was out of the way), and silicone spraying the tracks might still be the best fix.

    Well, on my driver's side door, there is a plastic keeper broken off or something. The window tilts all the way forward if I don't hold on to it. The glass is firmly attached to the SBC bracket, which is bolted on firmly to the metal bar, but the whole thing turns because the plastic piece doesn't have the teeth to hold it.

    Aligning the regulator arm to stay under the window glass with spacers will keep the plastic tabs on track.

    My problem is that one or some of the plastic tabs are missing.
