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!

Ok, got the clips and installed them. Running it up and down the slide looks good prior placing it back in the door. Everything seemed fine and in working order, but when I got the door panel back on and ran the window up and down to test it several times, the cable kept coming out of the nylon clip. I know for certain that I had the ferrule on the cable properly placed in the nylon slot. Why does it keep coming out?
 
  Is the window is binding somehow when being rolled down?
 
Any answers on this?
 
Thanks for your answer in advance!

Push the little barrel in the clip HARD---you will hear it pop when it is on properly.

YUP.....but don't break that cheap cheeszy clip by pushing too hard LOL.
 
jereo is correct, it will snap into place.
 
Good luck.

I see the title was 2004 Rendezvous but all I saw mentioned in conversations was 2002 and 2003. Do the part number listed for the clips fit the 2004 also? When you go to GM direct to order, they do not come up under 04.
Part #15286776 and 15286777.

Well, I have a broken clip too
 
I finally figured out how to get the inside door panel off, and found the broken clip laying at the bottom of the door.
 
How do I get the whole assembly out of the door to replace the clips? Does it lift straight up and come out the top?
 
Thanks in advance!
