I'm in the process of cleaning up the driver's door (soundprooofing, rattles, wiring, door panel..... where does it stop lol) While I had the speaker out, I noticed the wire that goes to the window motor is just hanging loose (it is connected and the window goes up and down)...just dangling in the wind. I see there is some kind of wiring harness push clip which has broken off. It is supposed to go into a small hole that I can feel behind the opening for the speaker at the top.
1. Where can you get these clips from? (P/N, proper name) is it a GM 12160857 (Edit...yes this is the part #)
2. Is it just the one wiring clip that secures this length of the wire? It seems like there would be another one somewhere since the remainder of the loop of wire coming out of the motor up to this broken clip could flap around dangerously close to the window mechanism.
(I am removing the old sticky wire wrap tape and replacing with tesa tape in case you wondered what that was in one picture)
Previous hack job - broken clip behind the speaker hole. This is not my wire repair job! Old broken harness clip - driver's door just above the large opening in the door. Close up of harness clip on another part of the loom wrapped with tesa tape

The harness clip part is indeed GM 12160857. I picked up a pack of 50 (couldn't find a lower qty...oh well), so plenty more for those other harness clean up jobs.
The extra length of wire from the top clip to the window motor I loosely looped with a piece of tesa tape. Not ideal, but it serves the purpose and does not seem to catch or hit anything.
Almost done with the tesa tape harness wrap. Will post pics when it's all dressed.
