What glue to use on window?

av911 · 02-28-2008, 02:38 PM

My driver-side window is loose again.

Whenever I use the AUTO-UP function, the glass would fall out of place. I have to push the DOWN button so it'll sit back in place and then push the UP button to bring it all the way up.

The first time this happened (1 year ago), the regulator broke and I used some general purpose glue and I think/hope that it's the glue and not the regulator.

What kind of glue do you suggest using?? Here is a picture of where to apply the glue:

I would try the special glue for reattaching rear view mirror,you know the type that comes in a small vial?

The first time it broke, I did bring it in to a dealership, while the car was still under warranty, and they said the window is not OEM, so it wasn't covered.(car was broken into twice)

I'll try what distrbd suggest.

What material are the two clips made of?
I know Loctite makes a glue for difficult surfaces, such as nylon and plastics that a lot of glues won't adhere to...
I think its called Loctite Prism.
It's an instant glue kind of like crazy glue
Hope this Helps

You cant use rear view mirror adhesive to atatch a sideglass. That glue is designed to break away on impact. Find,,3M Automix Channel Bonding and Sidelight Adhesive, on this link. It says you need a mixer gun but I have used it without it,, 3m - Product Category

Make sure you clean the glass clamps on the window regulator and the glass of all old glue.
