I ordered a driver door window from here, paid over the phone with a card, and the window hasn't shown up and it's been 2 weeks. Be careful of this place

The window finally arrived but with the metal tabs at the bottom broken off. I'm hoping I can transfer the old bracket from the broken window. No idea how to do this though.

Are you talking about the metal rail at the bottom? If so it's easy to swap, there is no glue or anything, it's just the pressure of the rail and the rubber that hold onto the window. Use a block of wood and a rubber mallet to tap the rail off the glass, and then use the rubber faced mallet to tap the good rail onto the good glass.

xirdneh made a good video about this a while back. Make note of the lengths he mentions when you install the channel, it will help it stay functional for longer. Here is that video.
