Is the glass supposed to be glued to it or something? Because my old one rusted and fell apart... I just stuck the new one on the rollers, and dropped the window into the channel... But now it hangs up in the felt and falls off lol..

So, is it just the two rollers? Is there something in the front of the door? Or should I just glue it to the channel so that the motor pulls it down as well as lifts it up?

Yup...glued into a channel that the window regulator's rollers are captive in:

You must be registered for see images attach


That's a channel from a broken window (note the pieces of glass still stuck in it) that I had sent to someone a while back, for the same reason - theirs rusted out.

Your replacement window didn't come with that piece? Or it did, and you just dropped it down on top of the rollers? The rollers go inside of it.

I didn't replace the window, the channel just disintegrated... I have the rollers in the track, but the window is just sitting in its track, no glue or anything... So now when I roll the window down, the glass stays put and the lift plate goes down without it lol, then it all falls haha.. I'll go glue it at lunch
