I love the design and idea of 3D printing the clip. After watching a YouTube video, I simply went the route of:
- Buying a set of license plate holder screws (with the plastic square backer),
- Breaking off any remaining “nut holding” tabs on the old clip, and
- Replacing the all metal OEM bolt/nut with the license plate version.
It will press fit the old clip into place and go through the hole in the window and lock in using the plastic square nut. $1.25 for a pack of 4 at your auto store did the job when I replaced the regulators on 2 of my windows.
