Window Adjustment/Part

I finally got the power door locks in, the new regulator gasket and basically have everything back together. I had to adjust the inboard/outboard adjustment for driver's side window. This is where my problem begins.

The plate on the front channel that attaches the top of the channel to the door broke . This is the plate that has the front/back adjustment as well as the inboard/outboard adjustment.

Does anyone know where I can find this part. I don't see it in the catalogues that I have.

If the part is no longer being made does anyone have a donor car that they would be willing to part out this plate?

Thanks in advance.

Bob

I had the same problem. took the good one on the other side to a machine shop and had two made. It worked perfectly. Never found it availble anywhere.

Thanks 72. I have a call into Contemporary Corvettes. If they don't have it that was my plan as well. Can you give me a ball park on the cost and since we are in the same area, where you had it done?

I think it was $7 for the two. It took them about two weeks, but I wasn,t in a hurry. It was a shop in Lithonia, but I can't remember the name. I can go by there this weekend and see. I think as long as you have a good one, any shop can dupe it. If it becomes a problem, I will try to find the one I didn't use and get it to you.

I found a donor car here in Atlanta. Corvette City is going out of business, or at least moving to a new location, and had a junked 82. Got both sides for $5.
