    I honestly have no idea what the part is called, but it's like a small white clip that the tension cable runs through near the window motor. My passenger rear window hasn't been rolling up/down correctly for awhile so I took it apart and it looks like this "clip" isn't catching where it needs to.

    Can someone please tell me what this thing is called so I can goto the dealership and try and get a new one?



    THANK YOU!

    that is most likely a part of the whole window regulator, its kinda hard to get a part for it, as they sell as a whole unit, may be able to get the part from a junk yard, if its removable.


    the whole parts is called a window regulator. ebay 35 bucks, junk yard less, dealer over 100.

    Regulators for 04-07 GPs will all be the same right? And are different for left/right doors?

    04 to 07 should be the same, and yes all 4 windows are a different part #, just search for your year, and model and what door is not working.

    The wire runs through that clip and it gets pulled through sometimes. Like if you try to put your window down when it is frozen up. It can pull it through then.

    But yeah, it is part of the regulator and not a replaceable piece that I know of. Just get a new regulator and call it done.

    Yep it's all 1 piece. You must buy the whole regulator. It looks like the housing came loose and is moving instead of the cable.

    Thanks for the info guys. I can't seem to find a regulator for under $50 on eBay, any other places online I might be able to get one cheaper?
