Where to get C-clips for rear glass hinges?

[jph4387]

I've got the dreaded rear glass rattle on my 2018 Yukon. I'm doing all of the different things mentioned in these forums and one thing I noticed is my right rear glass hinge is missing the C-clip on the hinge. Where can I find a replacement?

I lost one of mine as well. I bought a kit from Harbor Freight that has a bunch of different sized "E"- clips. I found one that fit, and clipped it on.

How did it work? What size was the clip? Or do you have a picture of the box that your bought?

This is what I bought from Harbor Freight. I don't remember exactly which size clips I used, but this kit does have clips that will work.

Home Depot or Lowes in the Fasteners section, in those small pullout cardboard drawers for specialty fasteners.

Or ACE hardware. Our local ACE (Big Tool Box) has many fasteners that aren't found at the big box home improvement stores.

How many clips did it take for the rattle to stop? How many per side and where do they go ( on the hinge? Outside the hinge?)

Thanks

I just ordered a bunch of clips that should be at the house in a couple days so I’m just wondering where the clips go on the back hinges to reduce my trial and error thanks

Well, my glass wasn't exactly "rattling". But I did recently replace the rear glass on my 2001, with a 2005-2006 style rear glass. In the process, I dropped one of the E-clips and couldn't find it again. So I drove around for a day or so with no clip on one side, until I bought the Harbor Freight kit and popped a new clip on. I only put one clip, but I suppose I could have squeezed a second one in there.
