Default Confusing part

Starting replacing the side glass on my '79. Removal went very well with the exception of one thing. A part [IMG]<a href="http://s1131.photobucket.com/albums/m554/manfroni/?action=view&amp;current=part.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m554/manfroni/part.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]"fell" out during the removal process. I have been unable to find the part description let alone where the hell it goes on any website of the AIM. Help!!

That's the limit bracket that goes on the top and bottom of the track(s). keeps you from opening the window so far that it falls out of the car...

There is one at the bottom of each track to keep the window from dropping out of the track and one on the top of each track four total. They adjust the height of the window as well as how far it rolls down.

Thanks for all of your help. When I took a look at again, it was very simple, don't know how I missed it. Glass is in, great fit, fast and quite p/w operation and zero scratches. On to the other door.
