Our rear stationary window on the driver's side has migrated about 3/4" away from the frame.
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/window-fixes/p63865-wandering-window.html
Previous owners each contributed a new variety of sealant to the ever-widening gap.
We've ordered the materials to reseat the window properly BUT I cannot locate any spacers either beneath the glass or along the side of the frame.
Does anyone have a photo of the spacers for a Hehr stationary window and/or an approximate idea of their size and location?
Our POs left us a pile of mismatched manuals for different years, and the online manual has a photo that shows the spacers but the photo's so dark that I can't make anything out. A clearer shot of that photo (1976 manual) would show approximate location of the spacers but I'd still need to know what size they're supposed to be.

I had the same problem with the same window.
The spacers are about 1/8". Two on the front side one on the top and one on the bottom.
I found them in the sealant when I removed the window.
They just keep the space even and are not that fussy.
I used a butal rubber sealant in a caulk gun and suction cups from flee bay.

Once you get the window back in the right place, carefully (so as not to hit the glass) drill and pop rivet the vertical bar in place so it doesn't happen again.
