Default Wire connector for window

I am replacing the window switch on my 95 trans am and while doing that I broke a connector off and now I need to find the connector that clamps on to the wire and goes around the post of the window switch if anyone has any insight that would be great.... sorry if I'm in the wrong section newbie here

Do you need an all new pigtail with an entirely new connector or just a new terminal for a single wire in that connector?

The terminal on my '99 is p/n 12089446. It's called a Pin Grip terminal and is a very old style of terminal that I don't believe is used in cars any more. You can verify that your terminals are the same by comparing to the Delphi .tif drawing: http://ecat.delphi.com/feature?search=12089446

To get a good crimp, they also require a special crimper... You'll need a J-38125-7 or 12085271 crimper and use the "A" die. The terminal is cut specially to take that die.

The crimper is probably the hardest thing to come by, here although every GM dealer will have one in their wiring repair kit.

If you can't get a hold of the terminal, can get a crimper, and still want to do this, I can hook you up with some. I have a few left over from when I re-worked the wire harnesses in my doors.
