I just bought a tube of RTV silicone and just siliconed the piece back. Took two minutes to do, and 24 hrs to fully cure. Once cured it is good as new. You dont even need to take the door apart to apply the silicone but I highly recommend using painters tape to keep the stuff from getting on the car interior as it is difficult to clean but can be cleaned while wet with rubbing alcohol.
Thanks. Is there a way that I can wire up my windows to work with the key off. It's ridiculous that my kids can't even get fresh air and the rear door glass lift has no key lock where does the passenger door.
No, I've never encountered a loose window in 20 years of driving this generation vehicle, Tahoes and Suburbans. If I had a loose window, I would remove the inside door panel with the window in the full up position and use a 10mm socket to tighten the 2 friction fittings with the rubber liners that secure the window glass to the actuator assembly. You will see the bolts that need to be tightened about 6" below the window opening in the car door and about 6" in from each end.

If you want to modify the existing wire harness, you can attach the power wire for the windows to a red that is always hot, under the dash.
Nice job
Thank you.
I used Superglue and Zip tie the whole thing to hold over night and damn it’s holding up
Nice job
Have you happened to do the loose windows issues these vehicles get over time? 👍 subscribed

Nice, I'll be working on mine soon.
What was the broken part called when you looked it up on eBay for $80 ?
probable the entire door panel
Were the buttons not working in the 1st place ??
The buttons work fine. The beige panel that the switch sits in was not properly attached to the interior door pane.
they make inserts to fix this for $10 on ebay
Thanks for commenting. I wasn't aware of that.
Can you provide a link. Not sure what to search.
@1LElife, yes a link would be great! Thanks!
