First let me say I love my Pont I have always owned GM car for the most part had one dog pick up hated it .. But living in Ohio knowing at the time GM had around seven plant in Ohio alone. I knew I was getting a car built here in USA. . But this thing about trying to compete with the foreign car companies as really put a bad rep on GM and there workers. My plastic window clips broke on my passenger and a month later on the driver. I still say some one was trying to get in. But my insurance want to sSay it was old age , the clips were clean and still strong when I pulled them out off the bottom off the door. the pain in the ass part was only the dealer Carrier this clip and they were $50.00 A PEACE FOR PLASTIC. and when I ask the dealer how much for them to install was told anywhere from $150.00 to $175.00 really to put two clip on and window. So I started to look i local junk yards no one had any pont grand ams two doors..

I want to know who thought it was a great idea to put a 5 lb window on to little plastic clips.. What ever happened to the old way at lease when they fell off of that it was a vary easy fix..

Had the car since 2002, took it through everything and only had three issues with it. this window clip was a pain to deal with, winters in SD aren't the best with a window down, but easy enough fix as long as you can get in the tight spaces without breaking more plastic clips off to have to then fix them. this car is only a 2 door and so far only one window has gone down...but that's already a 50% failure rate just in my car. the cheap plastic piece wasn't meant to handle much...and the replacement's the same thing, a small piece of plastic...the regulator and track's are still fine so I didn't have to spend hundreds to fix them, just $20 in plastic to hope it doesn't break again soon. my advice, if your window starts to not close up all the way when up, take it in and see if they can either see if something's in the track or realign it before the plastic clips snap!

Bought this car used almost three years ago and have had little to no problems with it (aside from replacing the tires a few months ago), until driving down the road (say around 50mph) the other day and bahm, my passenger window falls into the door! Scares the hell out of me, until the annoyance sets in. I managed to pull the window up and get it wedged mostly back into it's "up" position, but there is no way it's on track anymore. The cherry on the sundae was when I then closed the door, I definitely heard something fall inside my door. I'm tempted to take the door apart and see if I can fix this thing, as my driver window has also been acting a little weird lately, and if this is going to be a repeat thing I would rather not have to work this added cost into my budget. Have a friend that does runs a mechanic shop, so I may see what he has to say first. What's funny is that the girl at a shop I go to has the same car, and when I asked her how it was working out for her (this was a few months ago) she sighed, and among other things this window issue was mentioned. WTF! It doesn't seem right they can sell a product so faulty, safety issue or not.

I rolled my window down and when I went to roll it back up my window clip broke. At first my window just stopped halfway up but then a couple of minutes later my window fell into my door. When I went to get the part that was broken the auto parts clerk told me that I would have to get it from a dealership. I then decided to google my problem and found out that this is a defect that many owners have encountered. From what I have found, it's gonna cost about $500 to fix this problem and I just bought my car not even two weeks ago!!! GM has yet to recall this even though it's a very common problem in Pontiac Grand Ams.
