Detailed Product Overview

Built for body and glass repair work, Dorman 38480 is a practical solution when the original door glass attaching clip has cracked, loosened, or separated from the regulator connection.

This part cross-references GM 22541970 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the regulator, glass channel, and mounting points before installation. Replace damaged or distorted hardware in the door assembly as needed, and confirm the clip seats fully with the push-in design before operating the window.
