04 Alero passenger window not rolling up

A friend of mine slammed my passenger door with the window down and we heard a snap, and it stopped rolling up. I took him home and the next day I went to my friend that is somewhat experienced with cars and we took apart my door panel, and found these 2 objects just broken off at the bottom of the panel. What are these and where can I purchase them?
Thanks in advance.

Well, they are parts of your regulator...also looks like the plastic tab that is glued to the window and attaches to that metal part of the regulator, has broken too.....the tab is replaceable(you have to remove the rest of the part from the window with a heat gun and putty knife),,,,,then reglue the new tab onto the window(there are two, not sure if the other one is broken from the picture)............as for the regulator parts, not sure if they are replaceable or you need a whole regulator.....

Thank you. I did purchase a new regulator and got that in there, and I'm now waiting on the window clips to come in since I had to order them. What should I reglue them with? Thanks again.

Re: 04 Alero passenger window not rolling up

You want something that will bond glass to plastic......not sure what is out there, I used the GM glue.....

Couple things to consider......Before removing the clips, I used a black magic marker, to mark the glass, where the original clips went(you want them glued exactly in the same place)..........I would use a whizzer and cut the lower half of the clip off(just below the glass)....then use a heat gun, and work one side at a time with a putty knife to remove the clip.....those clips can go in either direction, so pay attention when installing on the glass, they have to go on the correct way to "mate" with the metal attachment of the regulator...

Or glue the clips on the glass, and while still moveable, install into the already installed regulator(have regulator at a height where you can easily get to the bolts that hold the clips to the regulator)..........tighten, the 10mm bolts, and then drive the window upward to fully closed position(this seats the window into the clips)...now do not move that window for 12-24 hours, to make sure that glue is completely set.....
