you are getting same thing, but by the time you pay for the shipping, you only save about $5-6 from going to the dealer.

Thank you so much for this info, you saved me a bundle. Do you recommend taking the assembly out of the door to install the clips?

no, leave the assembly in. but you will have to loosen the bolts on the right side so you can get the clip on.

My driver side window is screwed up, gathering from the info on the forum is should be the clips. I would like to ask, do I need both part# - 15286776 & 15286777 for one window or do they come in pairs, please clearify. Thanks for the help

usually you will need both. Once one goes the oher is sure to be weakened by doing the job of both. Just replace them both

Hey guys,
 
Great information for the front windows.
 
I have a rear window on a 2003 Buick Rendevous that is not working. I am trying to take the panels off the drivers side door, but they do not remove as easily as the front panels. Is there an easy way to get the panels off without tearing the panels up in the process?
 
I have all the bolts removed that I can find and it looks like the clips holding the panels are teh issue. Started using a screwdriver, but wanted to ask for advice before, I potentially damaged something in the process!
 
Thaanks in advance!

there is a actual panel clip tool, that graps the clip and gives you enough leverage to remove it with ouit tearing up or damaging the panel the way a screwdriver does. Also make sure ALL bolts and screws are removed, sometimes you will have one that you can totally miss. My only other advice is take your time.
 
Sorry not much, but I hope it helps.

2002 rendezvous - Window Regulator by chrissy08

Does anyone know where I can purchase a window regulator, I went to a mechanic yesterday and he told me that i will also have to purchase the motor because it is all one piece. Which sucks b/c mine is still working and he wants to charge me 300.00 to order and labor.Does this sound right????

Yeah I think he might be wrong by tonygravato

The general assumption is that it is all one peice it is not. The motor, regulator, and clips are seperate. Just take the part #s from this thread and go to your Buick dealer, then find a new mechanic

Rendezvous Window Regulator vs. Clips by cbelken

I am so glad I found this forum!!! I must share my story!
 
I have a 2002 Rendezvous. The window clips broke on my driver's side door. Of course, I did not know that was the issue, until I took the door apart. Being the girl that I am, I still did not know what was wrong. So, I took the door panel off the front passenger door. Then, I saw that all the plastic parts were supposed to be only 2 plastic parts. I pieced the broken parts together and my husband took them to several auto parts stores, looking for new ones.--- no luck
 
Then, he sent me to the dealership and they told me that I needed a new regulator ($175 plus labor). They even showed me a new one. The clips on the new one were not plastic!!! In fact, they did not look like they could be removed from the regulator. So a new regulator comes with better clips.
 
So I went home, duct taped my window in the "Up" position--- yes, I said duct tape--- then but the door back together to hide all the tape.
 
3 months later---yes the tape held for 3 months--- the window slips down about 4-5" while driving.
 
Now, thanks to this forum, I am going to surprise my husband by fixing the window!!!
