    I'm replacing the regulator on my 97 tacoma driver's side and one of the brackets that bolts the window onto the regulator is broken (pic below). Can I replace the bracket or do I have to replace the entire window? Where could I find a replacement bracket if can be replaced.

    Do you remember where you found them? Went to local store today and they didn't have them. How did you attach them to the glass? Looks like they were originally attached with some kind of epoxy

    Awesome. I guess I wasn't calling them by the correct name. Thanks for your help.

    I had this problem on a '91 Civic (the epoxied plastic tab broke).

    I went down to a picknpull and purchased the entire window glass with intact tab (only one on the Civic).

    got them at o'reilly auto parts and they have universal clips, and got a tube of black silicone to glue them.
