I know this is not a Ford question but does anyone know where I can find the plastic parts that are glued onto the bottom of my Olds Alero power window that allow it to go up and down. Somehow, both of them broke off and nothing is grasping the window. No one was answering on the Olds forum. I would think it would have to be someplace where body shops order from. Thanks so much
Help!! Power window parts? Where?

I would ask in alt.autos.gm, but I think they will tell you any chev or pontiac dealer can order your parts. I wouldnt be surprised if you have to buy a complete regulator or much more than you need though.
Interesting shortcut using "mirror" bonding technology. The older fords I've seen have holes in the glass.
But as said, under the skin, it's a GM and all the sister models should be the same.

If you have
How did you get to alt.autos.ford in the newsgroups? I get them on my newsreader, I can see where your post comes from but it's unfamiliar to me. You want alt.autos.gm if you can do this.

The assisting poster directed you to --> alt.autos.gm which is a newsgroup. Connect to alt.autos.gm in your newsreader the same way you reached this newsgroup (alt.autos.ford).
Good luck.

get the parts at a salvage yard
Thanks guys. I found alt.autos.gm. I was so simple, I couldn't figure it out. LOL! I posted on there so we'll see. Salvage yard is out of the question as they are bonded so well to the window, they would be destroyed getting them off and I surely don't need the whole window. I have never had this happen in any other car and am very unhappy with GM. I left a message on their site that said they get back to you in 48 hrs. That was about a week ago. These cheap things broke 1000 miles past warranty and also the front brake pads at the same time. Very poor IMO. Thanks for letting me vent.

if you got 37k out of ur pads u went further than most on that platform......i replaced many at 20k........kjun
Damn Kjun!! That's pathetic! This Alero was driven mostly by my daughter and women are worse on brakes for the most part. (sorry ladies). I got almost 90K out of my Escort brakes. Did you turn the rotors on those cars that got only 20K?
