Hey all.....BTW I did do a search on here before posting this, and also on Google, etc. Hope this thread is not redundant. Anyway, here goes....
I have a 2002 LC that has issues with 2 of the windows. Passenger side front won't go up or down, and driver rear won't either (and has a gap at the top of about 2 inches, currently covered up with duct tape to prevent leaks! ). I took it to my local independent shop for other work (belt, AC, front bearings), but they are confused on how to fix the windows. Of course I can go to the dealer, but wanted advice here first, since I've just spent a lot of $$ on other repair to the LC.
The shop is describing the problem with both of the windows as "the bracket is not attached to the glass from the factory" and that the "glass is not hooked to anything so it can't attach to the regulator". The shop advised me to go to a body shop and get new window glass for both. This seems strange to me, and also I have factory glass on both windows which I want to keep since there's nothing wrong with it.
I did find the thread below but I don't think it's the same issue.
What are your thoughts on how to "attach the glass to the regulator"? The PO or someone has taken the door panels off before, could parts be missing?
Thanks for any advice!!

To clarify, what was used to grease the linkages? Also did you notice a difference by just changing the runs? I was thinking of changing out the regulators because all of my windows are super slow but am now wondering if greasing everything and replacing the runs would be sufficient. I...
