    Yes I miss the location feature also.
    I'm located in Corvallis Oregon
    About 10mi. west of I-5 about 30mi south of Salem.

    Damn, a little too far from VA. Both my windows are f'd. I spend a weekend working on the passenger with spacers and new plastic tabs from GM. It worked about twice and now is messed up again. Going to buy the metal spacers and work on the drivers side sometime.

    Still no directions

    I bought these months ago and could not figure out how to install. I emailed for directions and was told none exist. I even took it to a local body repair place and they could not figure it out. Has anyone figured it out and can post directions since the seller has not yet honored his statement to post directions?

    Email me directly and i can send it (Zip File)
    install doesn't cover the removal of your door panels or glass....you should be able to find that in the VX shop manual.
    One more thing !!! if the body shop you took your vx too couldnt make heads or tails of the brackets.................You should find a place to install these that know a little something about autos
    My direct email is streetboutique@hotmail.com and i will send you the install picture in a zip file

    You might want to put a copy of the file on your server and link from your VX window fix page.

    1. Remove old plastic tabs and glue.
    2. Install new metal tab and new glue.

    Not trying to be a complete prick, but I never thought it was that hard to figure out. I'll try to find some links to some of the old post. There are about 20 thread discussion on this issues and I remember some going into detail on how to do a tab replacement. I'll see what I can find.
