My driver's side door glass separated from the vertical channel it slides up and down in. I think the new scraper seals I installed where causing too much friction.
Has this happened to anyone else? What's the best adhesive to use to re-glue it? Thanks! |

You can buy this at advance auto. @ 24$ Not cheap, Wmart might have it for less? Needs to set up for 24 hours. Or swing by an auto glass installer- they may give you a shot for free. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-13632-1350947877.jpg) Thanks, I'll give that a try! Before you glue anything to anything else, it's best to be very clear what is supposed to be permanently attached to what. If the other side is working well, take the door cards off both and see what the differences are between the two. --DD I've had both door cards off completely already to compare. There's a metal bracket that slides up and down in a channel in the piece the vent glass is attached to. This metal bracket that slides up and down is what the glass on the driver's side became detached from. There's blackish adhesive residue on the window from where it was affixed inside the metal bracket. |

I don't know the right stuff, or I would have fixed mine. But it can't be that
windo-weld, that is like a caulk or windshield adhesive. What you need is a very thin adhesive that will work on glass-to-metal and suitable for automotive temps. |
