So this piece fell down from my passenger side safari window last week. I tried putting it back in but couldn’t get it to stay in place. I was at the dealership yesterday getting my windshield replaced and asked about this. Their response shocked me.
They would need to order a whole safari window to get this part and it cannot be repaired and they have done this with 1 other Grenadier already.
It’s under warranty, but seems a bit “light duty” for the Grenadier. Now maybe the dealer would just rather replace than repair for ease or billing reasons, but this is. $1 piece of metal and they are ordering a $1000 window. I thought that tab might just need to be bent back out, but if they are covering with a warranty, I’m not messing with it.
The worse news is this means I shouldn’t drive with that window open as this spring is what keeps it from closing on itself if you go over a bump.
