    I have a right side window that falls out of the track when I wind it down.There is a hole near the rear edge of the glass that probably had a plastic button that rode in the rear track.
    It only shows when the window cocks out of its place, I can't see it on the other windows.
    :90:
    So IF I can find a button, or grind down a round head screw to fit (?), how do I replace it?
    It can't be rocket science, but I've never seen this before, so I'm at a loss.
    I guess all the A bodies used the same windows.
    Anyone ever fixed one of these?

    Go to your local parts store, and look in the Dorman HELP! section; those plastic sliders are easier to install when you have a second person helping you.

    Did the repair today, it was stupid easy.
    Wrap the plastic "window guide"around the window, snap it together (next time I'll use a dab of super glue) then slam it into the track.
    Good as new, and I got 2 large and 2 small clips for $6.29.
    Thanks, STH!
