Do you have a part number? It is helpful for others to see the said broken clip before looking for it.

Sure, it was it my first post also: #51338254781

Here's a link to ECS's listing with photos:
Home Page > Search > 51338254781 > ES#94509 Window Regulator Clip - Priced Each - 51338254781


Here is a good write-up I just found that shows exactly where the clip is located:

There are 2? I only got 1 on each door. That clip is also the culprit that once its broken, the window glass will jump out of the arm and get stuck there.

Yeah, I have two on the front driver door at least. Haven't had the other doors apart yet. Luckily for me I caught it before the glass jumped the track, my one clip only had 2 prongs left.

Could also be the regulator for both cases. $120\ea from the dealer, But check the Plastic clips first because even if you buy the regulator... It doesn't come with the clips. Thats why i have to open the door back up and install some..

keep experimenting with slaming the doors with the windows down.... do some 5-10 big slams, then go buy window regulators ...

seriously now, avoid slaming the doors with windows open, it will leave you with a broken window regulator
