BT is right, those cheesy clips that hold the glass break all the times, so far I had replaced them on 3 out of 4 doors, the 1st two I had to replace the whole regulator things, as when the window went out of commission, we tried to push the buttons to move the glass, and that operation totally killed the regulators' plastic pulleys. On the last door, as the glass died inside, we did not touch anything, until i got the panel off, and it was the clip. So, i ordered about 10 clips (dealer was suprised to see the quantity) and about 20 snap-on clips for the panel trip (as they break left and right) and just swapped the broken clip for a good one.

I think, having those clips on hand is a good invenstment, they are about $1.20 a piece, and the panel clips are about a $.25 a piece... so, I stocked up... lol...
