'70 Window to Lift Plastic Insert

[PurpleBeeper]

I've got a '70 B-body & the driver's window keeps coming off the track. Looking at the other side, I see that my driver's window "plastic push-in" that connects the glass to the track is missing a "lock pin".

I should have take a picture of the passenger side, but I will try to describe it. This picture if the driver's side. Towards the right, just above the regulator arm you can see the white plastic insert that connects the window to the track. There "should" be a plastic pin that pushes into the center hole of the insert you see that keeps all the insert's "4 fingers" spread apart & locked in place. Without that little plastic "locking pin", my driver's insert just keeps popping out.

The replacements I've seen online look just like what I have.....no "locking pin". I did see some A-body ones that look similar and have a screw running into that "lock pin hole" to keep the fingers spread. I'm half-temped to try a hardware store screw in mine.

Where can I get these window "plastic push-in" pieces that have the "plastic locking pins"? OR... what else can I do to keep my window on the track?

The glass rivets are relatively common for most of the vendors that deal with the smaller detail pieces. The rivet has the four finger as mentioned and there is a pin in the center so that as you push the pin in, it will spread the fingers and hold the glass in place. The rivets retail in the $3.00 range. If your not able to locate one, drop me a message with your address and I can get one out to you. With shipping, you would have about $6.00 in one of them. Do not purchase the door glass up stops. They look somewhat similar, but are not what you are needing.

Close..... That is the part I already have that keeps backing out. I need the little pin that goes inside that part to spread the fingers.

Scott, just to make sure that I am on the same page, you have the rivet, but the pin that pushes into the rivet is missing. Do not want to send you the wrong piece. If you have any questions, drop me a call, I sent you a message with my phone number.
Thanks,
Richard

The pin is included in the part. You push it in when you get it installed. I don't think you can buy just the pin. You get both as an assembly.

You are correct in that they are sold as a complete assembly. But they come from the manufacture as two components and they are sent out to the vendors as one component. Not sure of the issue as was it packed missing the pin or was it an older rivet and someone pushed the pin out and lost it through the years.

OK, I'm starting to understand. The picture that sixpack posted is actually TWO PIECES

The ones I have were missing the "tail end" (pin) - white cylindrical part on the right side - that should push forward and spread the fingers inside the window glass. I need those.....or a correct, complete part with both pieces.
