Default window problems, please help

Hey everybody,

I have what seems to me to be a major issue with my drivers side window. The window does not go all the way up to the top. Figuring this was an alignment/mount issue I took off the door panel and it seems that the mounts that hold the window in place have ripped straight through the fiberglass to which they were attached. Now the whole assembly is basically just resting on whats left of the fiberglass.

I was wondering if this has happened to anybody else and, can it be fixed or am I going to have to replace the whole door? I can take some pictures of what Im talking about if that helps.

Thanks.

It will take you a long time because there are so many window threads, but there were some people who had success by fabricating a metal plate (with the holes in the right place) and then bonding that to the door so it would hold the reg in the correct place.
