I have a 2001 Dakota SLT Extended Cab. The drivers side window keeps popping out of the bracket (for lack of a better term) that holds the window to the regulator. The motor and regulator work just fine, but the glass won't stay seated when I put the window down. All I can find online are the regulators, with and without motors. None of them show this bracket. Anyone know what I am talking about and where I can find one?

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Check the attachment. What part is it?

 

It's not a long bracket like I thought. It's been a while since I last had the door panel off. Just went out and checked it. It's the 2 little metal brackets the the red circle is pointing to on the diagram. Still can't find them anywhere.

 

I think they're part of the glass assembly and bonded on. Someone else was looking for them about a week ago.

Thank you. I kinda figured that was going to be the answer I would get, but wanted to be sure. Any suggestion on what type of silicon to use if I were to try it myself?

 

you might want to try going to a autoglass place (safelite or something like it). ask what they would use or sugguestions. the window itself is some where around 200 new. other than that. i would go to a bone yard, if for some reason you can't opxy the brackets back on.

 

Epoxy?

I'm just thinking that silicone may not be that strong, if the window binds up, and it'd pull out.

 

that is what i meant. spelling not the greatest at times. but hey. atleast it isn't text speech!!! lol

 

Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate it.

 

Little late on the response but my father redid my window and never used any epoxy or silicone. He used a rubber or leather roll of sorts. I just called him and he can't remember the name of the stuff but says it isn't exactly rubber or leather but its a flat roll. Window Weld? something along those lines. NOT the stuff you use to set windshields in. That stuff is round and this roll he used was a flat strip.

You cut off the amount of material you need, fold the material over onto the window and then set the channel back onto the glass, trim the excess and over-time it'll bond to the window and stick kinda like epoxy. Silicone and epoxy will only hold the window for so long and then you'll be back to square one. Really old rolls of this stuff probably upwards of 20 years old. Still works though. This was last summer and I haven't had a problem.
