Help with window brackets (broken) My window has been wobbling for quite some time, I finally opened it up and there is a small metal rivet thing that holds the window in place and rides along the track. Somehow this broke off the window bracket and I have no damn clue how to fix it.

This is where it is supposed to be connected to, the metal ring is busted. (This is on the bottom left of the door insides.

Here is the hole where it is supposed to go into
Up close view of the little ****/rivet thing itself
This window thing is a major PITA, I have to manually guide the window up every time, plus it goes up and down to far sometimes which is bound to break something else. Please help!
Thanks

Hey guys I know your pain. I had the same thing happen here, and the dealer wanted like 50 for the part, and like 150 for the labor. I took a chance and ordered one for a 1970-81 camaro. I ordered it online from Classicindustries.com (I am not sure if I can post that) part number G6667. It cost like 25 total with shipping, but unfortuantly it was too long, which kicked the window out too far. You will see once you get it, it gets thick after the threads, like 1/2 before the roller part. Well, i was like I am not spending more money, so I measured out where the stock one was, and marked and grinded down from the threads to the mark so it was thin enough to slide through the hole, and it works great. Also, the roller is a little smaller than the stock one, so I took some electrical tape and wrapped it around until it matched. You will also need a nut and I think I used a washer for extra protection. The window is loose again, but I can just take the door panel off and tighten the nut again, and no problem. If you have any questions just shoot me a pm.
