Drivers window glass clamps / clips ?
Hi,
The drivers door window dropped into the door yesterday and after taking the door apart, it is just the 2 plastic clips that bolt onto the bottom of the glass that are broken. However, it seems they are very hard to buy.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
After a lot of Googling I found this rather dodgy looking website that I had never heard of :

I was also thinking of trying to 3D print one. Does anybody have any suggestions on where else I could get some clips please?

Is this what you're after?
I've only the one and it's off an 05MY rear near side door so I'm not sure if they're the same part - you'd need to verify it via a parts catalog.
I see no ships........

Plus 1 ref what @coo has linked to as bought some for my front door
I also got some window glass clamps which were very useful keeping the glass up instead of using tape

Easier and safer to just lift the glass out It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Is it hard to get the glass out and in? Do I need to unbolt the guide rail things?

No, just remove the outside top seal taking care not to bend it, one screw holds it at each end then lift and twist the glass out from outside the car, two minute job It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Hi @M3DPO
Hope u don’t mind me asking , but u mentioning the outer top seals , is that the same for all of them plse with regards to a bolt each end as I bought a set and wondered how they came out
Mine have started to bubble so instead of messing around with them bought the set of x4
Many thks

Not a bolt a Philips screw on the very end possibly on the inside with the door open then lift the strip up, no need to be gentle in your case It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Just don’t bend the new ones as you will not get the kink out It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Must confess thought I bought the wrong ones at first as they looked alot longer than the old ones, plus many thks for the heads up as ordered some new torx screws
Before I fit these I intend to put my smoke machine inside the cabin to double check where other places of water ingress are occurring
Thks again
