Floppy window major problem
One day, few months ago was pushing my car out of the garage and I failed to close the door fast enough so the glass ended up hitting the garage door and pushing it forward, breaking a clip inside, since then the windows flopped and scratched my paint badly. Please anyone how can I fix this door? I don't know what clip or even how to start. Here is a video that shows the damage..LINK

Very sorry here is the new link, the door panel is already off but I don't know what to look for.

Sorry again, it is hard to see inside I took another video looks like a clip that is attached to the glass that goes on a guide track is the broken one, if so anyone know a part number or what this clip is called? And again another LINK

I think thats the part in the vid that is missing. check the front guide rail to see if there is a roller in it with the threads sticking out. could be the nut fell off. check the inside of door for pieces that have fallen to the bottom. the roller wont drop out unless you remove the stoppers. or if the plastics are broken. so its likely there you have to slide it back into the glass hole and secure it

That is what I was thinking it was I'll take the passenger apart soon and verify but a big piece of yellow plastic is all I found that fell out when it happened. Any other parts I never saw. But thanks again everyone, I'll be back if I have any questions!
