We are going to have to find out which clips broke to get you the right process. Can you take a look at this and tell me if these are the clips that broke? If not, can you get a picture of what it looks like now and we can figure out what is needed. Thanks

The clips that make the window go up and down that hold up the glass.

Okay. So you are going to need to access the regulator inside the door. Here is the process for that. Then you are going to have to locate the tabs at the bottom of the window which is shown in the last attachment.

You will need to find out why they broke because if you cannot reattach them to the regulator then you will most likely need to replace the glass because those tabs come molded to the glass.
