I've no idea how this happened, but our 2008 E350's driver window track seems to have snapped its rivets and was jamming the window from rolling down. See pic of the part and approximate location I *think* it was installed (dont have FSM)
Is there any way to re-attach or repair this, and/or is it really necessary? I don;t relish the idea of trying to get in there and drill/screw/rivet it back on...
I'm in the auto/truck glass biz, might be able to help..............
That piece as shown is upside down" as its contour should match the door. There should be (or once was) as tang at the bottom which is partially held in place by the 10MM headed bolt just behind the thumb in this photo.
At the top just above where the bottom of the glass would be when completely rolled up there is another tang which accepts a tab at the top of that channel.
I'd hit a local DIY salvage yard and look for any E-Series from at least '97 forward although most of them from '92 to '96 should fit too. While at the yard look to see how that part fits---hopefully you can find a door with the glass broken out---that part should still be in place then. (Most who successfully remove that door glass would have already removed that part first.
