Rear window went out. Took it apart and got it to stay up now for good. But this nylon part appeared to be cracked in two. What is this part called and are they still available?

If i recall correctly--window regulator guide jaw.

Looks like FastLane part number is W0133-1642211. Under $5 each. Replaced a few when i had my 560. Good luck.

Don't ask me why but only the rears go bad. They are about $12 at the dealer. Go ahead and do the other side.

The boys at Fastlane carry the part (shameless plug for our sponsors).

They are a bit tricky to install. Pull the track, grind the peened head off, pop apart the new jaw, insert the pivot, re-peen then re-assemble the jaw. A vise makes it sooo much easier. Use a small socket as an anvil on the pivot. You'll see what I mean. I use a chisel to "splay" the rivet.
