QuestionI have a problem with the tracking of the drivers side window in a 2002 300M. At the bottom of the glass there are two U shaped pieces of steel that are secured to the glass. Each U shaped steel bracket is then attached to a L shaped bracket which in turn is attached to the track system by a bolt. One of my U shaped brackets has become detached from the L shaped bracket - looks like they may have been glued together. Any Idea of how to fix?
