2008 Outlander XLS Driver Side Rear Door Window off Track?
First post,
Hi, looking for some help. We just picked up a 2008 XLS in great shape, except that the drivers rear door power window - when powering the window down looks to be jumping off it's track about 3/4 of the way down. Once down, the glass has popped out of the weather strip channel and rides up on the outside of the weather strip and won't fully close. You need to manually maneuver the glass back into the weather strip at the bottom, and then the window will power up and close properly.
Any thoughts/tips/pointers/suggestions?
Thanks

I just had my ds rear window pop out of the track. After removing the door panel I found that the window regulator arm popped out of the plastic clip in the mount/track that holds the window, here #6: http://www.oemmitsubishiparts.com/pa...&siteid=214331
The clip is snapped in two so the ball on the arm won't stay in place. I only need the clip, but it seems unlikely that I would only be able to purchase the clip, at least based on the diagram.
UPDATE: Just called my local dealer and I will be required to purchase the entire regulator.

That's exactly what I am saying. But it is better than the $130+ that the dealer was asking. He tried to get me to buy it while I was on the phone with him. Haven't decided what I am going to do, maybe look for a pick-a-part to see if they have one.

Had a similar thing happen on my old GrandAm. I ended up using 2-part epoxy and braided steel cable to hold it together. Relatively cheap supplies to give it a shot. Can't break what is already broken!

Years ago, i remember i could go to a u-pull it and buy whatever part i wanted for a newer car. Now, i go to the same u-pull its and they have nothing newer than 10-15 years old.
