Missing Front Window Stop????



I am trying to adjust my driver window so the rain doesn't get in and I noticed that my front window stop is not working. I feel like there is a piece missing because the metal stop does not come into contact with the window at all. What does yours look like? Is something missing? Thanks everyone.

Second Photo: The attached photo is picture of what it SHOULD look like. Where the arrow is pointing is where I only have one screw

First Photo: This is what my front stop looks like

Suppose I got one from a junkyard, how would I install that? Is that a rivet that runs through the window?

Yep, that's it.They eventually crack & fall off.Could be at the bottom of the door, but in more than one piece.Last I checked you could still get them from the dealer.
Yes again, you have to drill out the old rivet & rivet in the new piece or use a nut/bolt.That rivet is big.

You're welcome. I have the door panel off my GTA trying to figure out a rattle so I just took some pics of that stop.
