Broken tab driverside window 01 GA

So my regulator is hosed and when it went (or maybe what caused it to go off track) so did the platic tab that is glued to the window...my question is do I have to buy a whole new window or is there some way to remove the broken tab and window apoxy a new one in? And if there is a way to remove it without breaking the glass do tell. Thanks in advance.

GM sells these clips, around $12-18 and you need glass epoxy.

To remove the old one(s), use a chisle of standard screw driver, or other flat edge tool. Yeah not a lot of room in there to work.
Tap it lightly with a hammer with the tool as paralel to the glass as possible, and it should pop right off... should. lol

These do need to cue/dry for at least 24hrs befor reattaching everything or they'll come lose.

yes i had the same problem...i used a utility knife and a screwdriver...takes some patience....i worked on one side ant it came off farily easy...but the other side was a bogger to get off....i done fine without a screwdriver..one note, i used a marker to mark the position the old ones was in before i rmoved them so my holes would line up with the trac....it would suck if you done all that and you had the new tabs too far over!! I went to a local guy that sales a lot of used gm vehicles and got them pretty cheap...hope this helps.

Yes good tip mo_86_05 ! Made this mistake once, and never again!
A real PITA to get in that tight area and work with my big'o meat hooks. :lol:

Did you need to take the window glass out of the door to do this work? I got my new sash clips and ave to do this. Have you got a brand name and # for some equivalent epoxy? I don't want to pay $24 from a dealer.

UPDATE: Well I got mine fixed. I used #3500 psi epoxy by Permatex. I cut the old one with my cut off tool. So far so good.
