  • window bracket

    the drivers window in our 98 base camaro has a broken rear bracket.
    it is the riveted to the rear of the window glass, and has a round opening where the slider'sknob attaches. raising and lowering the glass in the door.

    is it best to just get another window with that bracket?
    tks

    Re: window bracket

    Same thing happened to me, and I fixed it for a few dollars. I took the guide that goes in the track out of the door, drilled a small hole in it, and tapped threads in. Then I used JB Weld to glue a relatively large, thick washer with a small center on either side of the hole where the rivet originally was. I then picked up a grade 8** bolt and tightened it up through the washers and into the threaded hole in the slider.

    **Make sure you get grade 8. First time I did this, I used a random bolt I found in my garage, and within a couple weeks, it had snapped in half. There is a lot of stress on this section, and the washers help distribute the force, but the bolt must be very strong.

    I'm also moving this to the General Tech section.
