[V8] window regulator clip

[Ed Kellock]

The shims are more like 2-pronged forks of uniform thickness.  In my
experience all you have to do is remember how many were at either bolt.  The
other two bolts are up near the top of the door body and they are oriented
90 degrees to the ones at the bottom.  You may have to peel back some rubber
stripping to access them.

I've seen the shims and the bolts, buy my fear is that the shims are wedges,
and if you don't get them "just right" the door will never be the same. But
at this point I'm going remove the inside panel, take lots of pictures,
remove the motor/regulator, push the window back up, figure out how to keep
it up (no Viagra jokes, please), and worry about the motor when the weather
turns nicer.

Thanks for your continued helpful hints. To be continued...
