Each window has a pair of hooked metal tabs which stick into holes in the B 
pillar of the body. Originally there was a small molded plastic sleeve over 
each tab, but I'd guess that 1 or 2 of your sleeves have gotten lost, or just 
crumbled from age.

I make a sort of replacement that's pretty cheap if you're interested. You have 
to take the window all the way out to install them, however. There are a couple 
of people on this list who are now using these replacements, so they should be 
able to speak up and let us know how they are holding up.
