Replace white regulator slider clips only or entire window regulator?

[Ricky Bobby]

There is only one slider clip and one window clip on the rear windows - that RegulatorFix site has the rear slider clips available as well- should be similar repair

There are (as far as I can tell) all plastic and metal + plastic versions of that clip on the internet. I suppose the metal backing makes it more rigid, but the failure point is still plastic.

Are there all-metal versions? It looks like the metal cable/cable ends maul the plastic over time. Or is that by design...eat a $15 pair of clips and not a 150 regulator?

Mine are a bit cracked but haven't failed yet. How easy are these to replace? Do they just "pop" off and back onto the slider somehow? And how do you disconnect the clip from the cable pull? Thanks.

No worries Mike - believe it or not I still have a pair waiting to go in my front doors as we speak - its on my summer "to do" list as I'd like to get the failure prone parts out before they fail - Trust me you will be pleased with the construction of the slider clips and for $15 a pair they are worth it IMO -

If you get this done before me I'll be looking forward to your impressions

RB, I plan on doing them in the next two weeks since the window clips need to be replaced ASAP so I'm just waiting on these slider clips and the black window clips. I hate having a part not working so I try to fix it YESTERDAY.

^I try to do the same but my time availability exceeds my maintenance goals nowadays LOL - you probably will complete it prior to me at this rate

If you go into cn90's window clip diy thread he posted a YouTube video showing how easy it is to replace the slider clip "in situ" - fairly easy you just pop the cable out of the clip and rotate it out of the track and snap the new clip on the track by lining up the piece on the cable that is secured in the clip

But there are two of these slider clips and the one closest to the door hinge seems to be a bully of a time to get to while the regulator system is still installed I'll find out soon and report back.
