    That's the kind of answer I didn't even dare to dream about! Just don't remove the pics - I'll get hands-on on my VX next week. A well earned 2 vacation weeks right before xmas holidays - the best time to shape up all three babies...

    Thanx a ton, Bulldoggie!

    Window ?'s....

    If tabs are broken.

    What is overall best adhesive to use?

    Who has corrected without a second fix needed and what method did you use?

    Are the GM tabs the way to go with added adhesive?

    Are GM clips to stiff like OEM and break? Are making out of other plastic material superior?

    Is spacing necessary?

    Is there a link with step by step instructions to fix and items neede for us intimdated shade tree mechanics????

    If tabs are not brken adn window tilts forward during use what is best approach to fix?

    puff puff, (blowing the dust off this thread!!)
    well, ive been having some problems with the window, with the weather changing. ive done all the mods months ago, and have had no problems. but when the weather warmed up last week, the epoxy i put in the tabs came loose from the glass, and have been wrestling with the window for about a week, you know, slowing the back end down to keep the window in track, etc....
    well, today, as a storm front was comming in, the window decided to go out of the front track, break my clip in front, cut the rubber some more.....ugh,
    so i FINALLY got the window back in the track, and rolled up. came home, looked up the window tab GM part#22689012 off of this thread, gave my dealer a call, and what do you know, they had three of em. so i bought one, and i must say, they work perfectly.
    they might be just the teensiest bit higher than the stock, but i was putting it in the front, so it just added to the tilt, which is good. the only mod i made was to clip off some very small tabs on each side,(youll see what im talking about if you get one) but other than that, they work very well. just wanted to add my testamony to a great find!!!
    oh, i also used jb weld to "glue" them to the window.
