Default Window slider replacement mod

I've had to replace my driver's side front window slider twice in 5 months so this time I decided to do a slight little mod to hopefully help it last and take the abuse (I ride with the windows down alot).

Here's the broken piece


I drilled a very small hole to slide in a small zip tie. This is to help brace it when it takes the impact when shutting the window...


I put it in place and zipped it shut, but not too tight. Just snug, I just don't want it to be able to push out on the outer arm of the slider.

Do you by any chance have the part number for that slider handy? I've been trying to find that one since yesterday.

Oh, and my pads where fine. Did some very minor adjusting, but it looks like there is a good bit of play room.
