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!

Hey there. Pretty simple to pull out the whole regulator from the door. Once the panel is off, just remove the 4 or 5 bolts that keep it attatched to the door and pull it out through the big opening in the middle of the door. Don't try to pull it through the top, I don't think it would fit.
Hey, I hope this helps ya! When you have more questions just ask.
 
Good luck,
 
Gerald.

Thanks for the advice.
 
I went to the dealership and they only had one clip in stock, and of course it's the wrong one. So I went ahead and bought it and ordered the other one, because I'm sure the good one will break soon.
 
Also, this whole device is the weirdest contraption I've ever seen. Who on earth designed this mess of a window opener?
 
I may be begging for more info once I get my hands on the parts and dig into it.
 
Thanks again!

Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I pulled the door apart. What has GM become? My pickup is a '97 and it seems to be built alot better.
 
Crappy design thats meant to fail. Oh well, thats life I guess.
 
Take care.
 
Gerald.

My clip is suppossed to come in today.
 
After the clips are installed, should I place the assembly back in the door, then drop the window into the clamps from the window slot above?
 
Will I be able to get to the clamps with the unit in the door?
 
Thanks
