    Did you check in the bottom of the doors? I rarely see these fasteners break but they don't usually just fall out either. The fasteners are two-piece. If you do have them you simply put the big piece in first making sure the glass is flush with the track and push the pin in until it's flush with the big part of the fastener. It should fit pretty tight so you will likely have to tap it in with something. If you don't have both retainers (4 pieces total for each window) then there's no need to mess with it until you get the correct parts. Just see what you do have and if you will pm me I'll see what I can do about getting you some. And I guarantee you won't beat my price unless you find somebody that will pay you to take them. :)

    Mine is broke, I had it rigged with some other hardware. Time to fix it right.
