What will glue window glass to metal again?, dang old cars Options

[mskala]

Found another reason for my window to not line up.
I have an early car, that has the metal piece with rollers
attached to the front of the glass, which rides in the
chrome channel.

The glass seems to be moving with respect to the metal
now, so even though I haven't taken it apart I think I
will need to re-glue the piece.

What is going to hold these together? Another job that
I don't want to do twice if I can avoid it.

Thanks,

The only proper adhesive for attaching a window glass to an "appliance" (i.e. anything that holds the window to the regulatoror or guides the window to the right spot) is urethane. Butyl wont hold up to movement, particularly when it gets warm, and rear view mirror tab adhesive is only suited for exactly that purpose.

Clean the glass and prime the metal, you will have a nearly indestructable bond. Oh, and don't get it on anything you don't want it on. Stuff is wicked. The only thing that cleans it up worth a damn is enamel reducer, which is fairly evil stuff in its own right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
