@cn90. Big fan of your planning, but you are assuming the clips will fail gracefully. Mine failed as I tried to lower the window to present ID to a federal police. Dropped with a dramatic bang. scared him and scared me. Happy now I didn't get shot.

Not really:
- The Black clips in this DIY: when failed and IF the "nut" section falls off the glass, then yes, the glass will fall down one side.
- The slider clips: when failed, the plastic parts (that allow it to hang on to the rail) break: glass sagging but not falling.

Anyway, a roll of Scotch tape in the trunk is a useful item.
