Metal Window Lift Channel Detached from Glass
4129R:
This is a first for me. One of the metal channels attached to the bottom of the door glass has come detached.
50 years ago, it was held with a sticky black U channel.
Has anyone had this problem?
What can I use to stick the metal channel to the glass that will stay stuck?
FourLoti:
Don't have any experience with that situation, but I've used this a lot for installing double pane widow inserts into home window frames. Takes a day or so to really set, but stays flexible. If my TCS window came out, I'd use it.

I don't know if you can get the glue what FourLoti uses here in the UK. If you can't get some I would use Sikoflex, It needs 8hrs to set but it is very good...

Paint the bottom of the glass with windshield primer, use the urethane you'd use to stick the windshield into the body?
Just a thought.

I have ordered some JB Weld 2 part epoxy resin from eBay.
Genuine JB Weld Clear Glue Quick-Setting Epoxy Ceramic Metal Glass Plastic Wood. It says it sets in 5 minutes unlike the Sun.
It says it sticks to glass.
We shall see ........
