Ok, for those who may or may not have had this
problem (yet). Here is some help should it happen to you.
I followed
power rear window slider glass replacement install
*INFO* to remove the glass. Thanks
JDslucky!
Then unsnap the power cables from the lower
channel (both ends).
Then on the outer extreme of the window where the
cable enters the cable sheath, lift up on the sheath, and slide them
outboard and out of the lower window track (both ends).
Now assuming yours is broke slide each broken part
of the lower channel to it's outboard end and is should be able to be lifted
up and out of the track.
Here is the tricky part, ordering and getting the
CORRECT part. If you look on-line through all the MoPar/Dodge Parts
catalogs, you will see a listing for a Lower Channel, that looks nothing
like the part you want or a part that even exist. That part (5179973AA),
even though the description is right is apparently the WRONG PART. The part
you want is actually called the Upper Channel and is part number
5179976AA.
I was not able to find a picture of the actual
part on line either through using a description or either of the above part
numbers. But for those interested I've attached a photo of the good part and
it's packaging and my broken one below.
