Permanent Fix for the plastic window tabs

[SBC]

Are these tracks still available?

my windows are going to get the silcone spray this weekend. if that does not work then i am keen to try your ubber design

Yes....i still make these brackets as they are ordered !! I think every VX will need these over time as the plastic one's will brake at some point.

Just wanted to thank you for making these brackets. Both windows on the VX I bought were broken and horrible (the passenger side actually fell into the door the first time I tried to roll it down.....in the rain...).

I bought the brackets before the VX even arrived and this weekend took the time to put them in. I used a cheap epoxy for glass/metal and it only took me about an hour and a half to compelte and that is only because I put on bracket on backwards and had to remove and re-attach it. It was very simple if you have any mechanical apptitude (and tools) at all.

The end result.... my windows go up and down flawlessly, no binding, no falling out of tracks, no issues at all!

I cannot speak to longevity but it sure seems to be fantastic so far.

Thanks again well worth the small price you are charging!

Mine shipped two days ago... Very much looking forward to rolling down my driver's side window. Anyone with a How To article including pics? I'd imagine its straight forward but I could always use a reference.

I'm glad I'm ordering before you get tired of making them!!! If you end up having to make 4000 sets I hope you at least get rich! I'll try taking some more pictures to either show everyone how do do it right or to ask for help in finding out what went horribly wrong!

Great Job, John! Now if we could expand on this.......


I think the video camera's files may have been overwritten / lost?

Maybe when the weather improves we can try again?????

Sad to say i wont be getting Rich making these!!! ...haha
Actually i gotta put my money making projects to the side to weld these brackets up, its all good at least no one is waiting on Isuzu to fix this one little mistake.

Received your order..Thank You...will have that in the mail by mid week

Hi Tim- We spoke about 2 weeks ago by phone. I'm up near Prescott. Got my driver window working perfectly right now by tweaking the track & bracket and then using pure silicon spray. I haven't tackled the pass window yet, but it doesn't jump the track coming up, but comes up VERY slowly.

I recall reading a post somewhere here that said not to slam the doors as it might break the window tabs (that your metal brackets replace). Have you heard/seen that?

I see you're making a set for mrtew in Canada this week...would it be more efficient for you to make 2 sets at once? If so, I'll order mine now also.

I think you mentioned you could also install them too. Let me know how much and HOW LONG OF A JOB you think that would be. We're coming down to PHX on morning of 2/2 and wanted to know if it's an install job we could wait on? Not sure since I've read the glue has to sit for a while. Would something like that work for you?

You could also keep them there & save the shipping costs since they sound like they're a zero profit margin for you.

Please let me know. Thanks!

Sue

Wow, if that happens make sure to take pix and post them! This could finally be the opportunity for a knowledgeable install to be documented! (unless it already has and I missed something, I've seen a few pictures out there but they don't fill me with confidence) And say hi to AZ for me.... I'm from your area! I used to drive thru Dewey on my way down to Phoenix and Tucson all the time! Which is really weird because I got my VX in Detroit and it's the very next one off the line before yours according to the number! (no I'm not stalking you, I just glanced at the number and it seemed so familiar).

[VX KAT]

Wow, that is coincidental! I've also looked at VINs but hadn't noticed yours. I started searching for my VX in December, found at least 90% were on the East Coast. Made me crazy! I found a '01 Foxfire in Virginia with 64k and had it shipped here to AZ (OUCH! $1,000 buckaroos).

So far, no rust, came with virtually brand new Falken Ziex tires, brake pads at least 80%, OEM shocks aren't leaking (but I can't stand them!! ...I live about 1 mile back on a dirt/rocky road...I'd read the VX "rides rough" but this dirt road is going to shake pieces loose in no time! It's like driving the Flintmobile with Fred Flintstone! So I'm looking at new shocks & reading all the posts I can here to get info on what to pick for my desired ride. I'm going to sell the OEM shocks here.

Wasn't "leaking" any oil until I took it to auth Isuzu service (which is a Toyota/Hundai/GM dealership) and now it's dripping about 1 teaspoon every 3 days. Got to take it back to them. Haven't had it long enough to see if it's "using" oil yet.

I will definitely take as many pics as Tim will let me. Photogr is my other hobby so I should be able to put together a really good set of pics / tutorial.
