When driving with the top down and the driver's and passenger's side windows up, the support mechanism can not support the windows and the clips eventually break. Chevrolet will not recommend to the owners to lower the windows or develop a fix for this problem. This pressure can also put stress on the window automatic motors causing them to break.

I had to replace the trans, and she had just peplaced her transmission. Also my driver side window will not roll up or down because the motor is gone in the window. I know of two other people with the same problem with there windows with the same year and make. I just wanted to know if it could be a problem that should be recalled. I can't afford to pay the money for these problems. Thank you.
