your getting ripped off.......... its most likely the clips on the window that broke

in all alero window regulators they got plastic clips that hold the window up they gonna go out from up down up down up down all the time nah mean, so they break pretty shitty cuz I already replaced all my regulators and I got a 4 door : / sucks

I just fixed my drivers side for the second time. I've done the passenger side once before. I imagine the passenger side will go again soon. I think when it goes im going to try to figure out how to fix it myself. Does anyone know if there is a how to on this already, since im not having the problem right now im too lazy to go search for it.

its easy. i fixed my drivers side one twice now. pop off the door, and look to see which clip is broken. its easy to spot, the clip is white. there are two, one in front and one in back on the wires that go up and down (of course). the one towards the front is harder to change because of the lack of space. the clip itself is the size of a half dollar and costs 27 bucks at the stealership. however, when i bought the clip last time they said that we going to start NOT selling them separately from the regulator. i have the part number in my center console....i'll post it later.
