I bought some off of eBay that literally broke off in my hand on the 3rd
turn. Got my money and then bought these . . . . .

Very strong and a little longer so the window goes up faster, plus they
stick out far enough to cover my pioneers without the use of spacer.

Dear spacey ... I Mean er 
I have one of those spacers  
But with out a plastic parts maker it does not make economic sense to
start barking those out one at a time from billets of plastic stock
Currently researching way to utilize gas fired house furnace as plastic
melter ... Success so far has been limited on third house and adjusters
are becoming suspicious JOKE 

But seriously is anyone making plastic parts other than for self
