I agree I love the zip tie idea, my problem was the regulator clips broke off not the glass clips.

Carefully twist the plastic clip off of the metal guide rail.

Installation is the reverse of removal.

Is there a tool to get the "nugget" into the groove on the white plastic clip? I can't do it by hand.

Well I put a little 3 in 1 household oil in the groove where the nugget snaps into, and with a little elbow grease was finally able to remove the broken clips. The new clips were $20 and it took some work snapping on the new clips. But I was able to fix my window without taking off the old regulator and motor. It was quite an effort and like a puzzle with the regulator still attached, but it was doable. But it may have been easier taking off the regulator and motor and replacing the broken clips with the regulator off the car.

That's why I did buy the replacement clips for the driver's side window and just keep them in my spare parts bin.

Yeah, these things are like $6 shipped off eBay and at least $20 locally. also have them on hand, but will buy more replacements once these are installed. On line it's the clips on the front drivers side door that are part of the window regulator. 1999 Alero with 58K miles, if that helps.

It didn't work. The window regulator cable came off it's tracks and I can't get it back in. Even if I could, one of the plastic wheels that holds the cable in place is damaged and it will slip right off again. Time to order a new window regulator.

Got the new regulator in and it's all good now.
One thing I am wondering is if I should go ahead and get spare clips for the passenger side, since the front passenger regulator is the only one in the car that's still the original.
