Default weird window problem

this is on the drivers side- the top right hand side there is a black plastic screw that screws into window track thingy. Hopefully yall will know what Im talking about . well.... mine has came undone for the second time leaving a hole in the window where it is supposed to be. I keep getting new ones and screw them into place but rolling the window up and down makes it unscrew itself and fall off . Is there a way to make it stay there and not unscrew itself?

Hi,
I just installed a new cable assembly for my power window and noted that each of the screws you speak of had lock-tite on them. You can buy it anywhere and there are different strengths so start with the medium as these are screws so the strong stuff may make your screws a permanent fixture. I would only use the strong stuff if I was applying it to a hex head bolt.

Cheers,
James

I think i got you confused because it seems you are talking about a different thing which is not bad(my fault) this "screw" im talking about conects the window to the track on the right side , when not on there is a hole in the window. This is on my SC400. this black screw has a head about the size of a penny. I just need to figure out how to get the dang thing screwed in.
