I still haven't gotten around to ordering the window mechanism. I did manage to get the door panel off and look at it, and it does look pretty easy. I used some picture wire to hold the window in place for now.
My "windshield" leak did turn out to be a roof corner lamp leaking. Once I got the lamp fully off, it was obvious that the bulkhead gasket for the wires was quite loose, and could easily allow water intrusion. For now, I'll park facing uphill, and one of these days I'll go pick up a tube of RTV and close up all the corner lamps.
A question for the forum: is it worth repairing the door handle bezels? I now have two that have at least one of the little tabs broken off. I can't imagine it would be all that hard to superglue some new tabs on, maybe using thicker plastic so they aren't so easily snapped off.
And WTH happened to pick-a-part junkyards? I pulled my center console lid apart a little while ago, and I'm pretty sure I could replace the broken latch with the internals from a Suburban/Tahoe/Avalanche component, but junkyards apparently don't work that way anymore.
