Another window problem

Post by Torino »

I thought I had the common window clunk problem but it turns out mine is a little different. The part circled is missing. GM does not sell that part you have to buy the whole glass. Anyone know where I can get that part or another way to fix it?

the window tabs are bonded to the glass. unfortunately, they are only available w the whole glass.

try a junkyard for a window that still has both tabs.

Feel around in the bottom part of the door, the piece probably came off and is in there.

When you find it, glue it back to the window w/ something strong like gorilla glue, then screw it back to the regulator.

That's very surprising that it is gone. It means the screw fell out and the glue came undone from the window. Are you sure it's not attached to the regulator still?

I did look for it at the bottom of the door and on the regulartor. Looks like someone had been in the door because the plastic barrier was gone. I guess they took it out. Is this a Toyota part to?

Lame.
You'll have to find another window to use from ebay/junkyard/dealer.

Toyota Matrix part should be identical.
