Pass window clips by racedad21

I'm new here so be easy on me.lol. I pulled my front pass.door panel off due to a broken clip, and only found one left side clip. Do I need a left and right clip? Why would I have only one on our 2002 Rendezvous?
 
Anyway, I'll be ordering new ones from Ebay soon but I'm not understanding how I'm going to fasten the glass to them clips...without breaking the glass.
 
Any thoughts or helpful hints? Thanks for reading!

The window should be about 3/4 of the way up when replacing clip. then lower window into the clamp which holds the window. tighten screw to hold window in clamp and that should do it.
the old clip is probably laying in the bottom of the door. do not raise or lower window too many times using only one clip (front). this will stress out the remaining clip and it will break also and the window will fall down in the door.
good luck

Thanks for the fast reply! I'll give it a shot when I get the new clips. Is it me, or does this seem to be a pretty crappy design? I'm sure most vehicles these days are built this way...oh well.

plastic clips for windows by ransom255

Thanks to all you guys and gals, yesterday my wife called and said her 2003 RENDEVOUS dropped the drivers side window so I checked it out and the plastic clips that hold the window had cracked and the window had fallen down, so I went to this forum and found out what I needed to do the clips were just broken into and not distroyed so I got some JB WELD and glued them back togather let them set over night and this morning started to reinstall them but could not figure out just how they went so I did what one women did and removed the door panel on the other side to see how they fit & I did as someone else suggested and loosened the bolt on the side nearest the engine and put them back in. So far they are working like new. I would never have figured out how to do it if not for the help that I got here on this forum so thanks to one and all who have posted here about this problem.

Hi,
 
Great help on this issue. I wish I would have found this about a week ago, but I still have a problem. I got the new clips installed, but the cable going to the bottom chanell is too loose. I checked to make sure it was in the track and looped around correctly, but could not find any errors. Does this mean the regulater is bad?
Also, can I take out the entire assembly with regualator?
Thanks for the help.
Mike

Ordering clips...question for you guys. by racedad21

I want to order the clips from GMpartsdirect like some of you have, but have a question. Does the clip come complete with the thing that holds the window also? I emailed them asking for a pic, but they don't email me back.
 
I not only need the plastic clip itself, but the metal "clamp" that bolts onto the clip also.
 
Can anyone tell me what they got when they ordered the clips from them?
 
Sorry for the long post.
 
Gerald.

I got my from the dealer and the plastic part and the clamp(to the glass) came together. The new part is a lot heavier made than the original.

I ended up buying the 2 clips off Ebay for $69 bucks and all is well! I pulled out the whole regulator for more comfort and installed the babies with ease.
 
A big thank you to all of you that helped me. Ain't nothing like an internet forum to help us do-it-yourselfers out.
 
Now anyone know why our air cond. compressor just quit?

On the rendezvous it is usually the condenser in front of the radiator that leaks

I'm sure the Freon has not leaked out. The air cond worked perfect and blew ice cold air when my wife shut it off. A little while later the compressor won't even go on...? I'm thinking if it were a slow leak, we would have noticed the air getting warmer and warmer as we drove the car.
Who knows.
 
Thanks alot for the fast reply!
