If you want the right items to fix your window, email me...I can sell you some.

==============================
: Some moron broke my side window trying to steal my radio. Well the
: alarm sounded and he left.

: I live in Houston and was able to find a replacement glass but the
: plastic connectors that hold the glass in are not availablew anyplace.

: Auto glass shops didn't have anything I could use but they could
: install it for $50. I tried some professional plasic connectors from
: an industrial glass and mirror place but the connectors they had were
: meant for a stationary glass and the window sheered right through them
: after a few days.

: Here is the fix that I have used now for about two months. Bolts and
: large wwashers and nuts. First, coat one side of each washer with
: about a 1/16 to 1/8 inch of good sylicone, let them dry compleetely.
: get a bold that fits through the hole on the glass with a bit of room
: to spare and noce you have put one of the washers on the bolt, sylicone
: side facing the glass put some type of cusioning around the bolt. I
: had some old rubbe hose that did the trick. Tape or sylicone would
: probably have worked also. The glass hasn't cracked and the windo is
: working fine.
