Jason, I guess apologies are in order, I personally didn't respond as my car has fixed windows and any advise I gave to you would be just a guess at best and possibly wrong. As for your problem, unfortunately you've found that one of the paradoxes of our particular cars is that the parts that are available seem to be the ones we don't need at 12 midnight before a long trip. One of the things that I appreciate most about this list is that some of my questions about my most puzzling problems have been answered without my having asked them. Threads come and go all the times here, some of them aren't really important to me, but hey, they must have been to someone. I've asked some questions that got absolutely no response, answered some that hadn't needed to be, and actually might have helped in one or two cases. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't be able to run down to the local Pep Boys, or VW dealership for that matter, and ask these questions. This list is kind of like fishing-you bait your hook with an intriguing question, throw it in, wait patiently and Whoa! Nothing. You try again, and next thing you know, you've got your answer. Don't give up, we all have full time lives to deal with as well, cars and computers are just for fun. I think Greg M. deserves a lot more pay than he gets to keep this whole thing afloat (thanks again, Greg). Now, as to your problem, have you looked at a parts yard or junk yard? Probably won't find something like you need anywhere else. All the big parts suppliers and manufacturers have parts that they can max profit from or at least appeal to the most consumers with. Did you try to fish them out or look at the base of the window behind the trim panel? Might be in there, take a look-poke around, that's the best teacher of all. Most important-don't get discouraged. Good luck. David Walters '73 1600 L Notch S. FL, USA
