Question: what can I use to re-glue my door window to the metal channel. The old glue don’t glue no more. This is the metal c-channel on the front edge of the window glass that slides up & down in the vent window frame.

Thanks!

I want to know too!

The bottom channel came off of my right side window.

In my case it's the channel that the window regulator mounts too.

Rubber is in good shape, glue has died big time.

I'm leaning towards using Urethane window sealant. This is the stuff they BOND modern windows into cars today. It's a cross between caulk and epoxy.

I'm betting the drivers window is the same way.

Sadly, I've never had a tube last more than a couple of days after being opened and I'll need a very small amount...

Check the tightness of both the front and the rear window (which are installed with butyl "cord").

My front window was OK, but my rear window was SO loose I'm glad I checked before driving car.
This was a tip I first saw here on this site.
It was a GOOD tip!
