This happened to my rear window. You will need a new plastic guide which comes with a rivit. The proper procedure is to remove the window motor, grind off the old rivet, the plastic will be broken, and inset the new rivet pounding it with a hammer until it is secure. You talk about a PITA!

Do what I did.

I ground off the rivet with a dremel tool. I went to a local hardware store and got a clevis pin, which had many holes for a retaining pin, ie a universal pin. I drilled out the hold in the arm where the rivet fits, cut the new pin to fit. Then I reassembled the plastic guide with the pin, put it back into the track and put the window mechanism arm into the pin. The retaining pin keeps everything together. Don't forget to lube the track and wear gloves, it gets dirty.

Unscrew the philips screws in the armrest, behind the plastic cover in the door handlw and watch the wood and seat switches.

I can post some pics of the clevis pins when I get home in the morning.
