rodbrady 18 Report post Posted May 8, 2016 In the process of adjusting one of my coupe's quarter windows, the glass came unglued. Argh! After cleaning all the glue off the glass and the mount, there seems to be quite a gap between the two. Will the glue fill that in, or do I need some sort of insert or shim? 2 orahw1 and mandyse1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rsanter 152 Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Glue will fill it in. You need to sand the glass to give it texture for the epoxy to grab it Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barnett468 418 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 ok, that is tough . urethane sealer will work and "the right stuff" from permatex will "work", however both are slightly flexible . The correct stuff is bonding cement it gets hard and does not flex. The window also needs to be at EXACTLY the correct angle with the channel and this is where the prob comes in . on the rears i shim the window so it is centered in the channel then glue it in place on the car then tape it to the body and front window so it is at the correct angle then let it dry. if it is not 100% perfect after this but is very close, you can make it better with the adjustments.

rodbrady 18 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 How about 3Mâ„¢ Channel Bonding and Sidelite Adhesive? Also, what do you recommend to use for shims? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Yes rodbrady, this is what West Coast Classic Cougars recommends, along with sanding the area to be glued. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
