How did this all pan out? I have two FW904RS (uncertain if the other side is an LS?) both GBOX46R (once again is the other side GBOX46”L” ?) are stripped out. I’m a general contractor and have used them in the past for frameless shower enclosures/ doors.. just created a new account with them, waiting on approval.

The FW904RS is the just one model that is used passenger or driver side. The crank is the same on both, it goes to the right when looking at the window from inside.

I'm dealing with the "window fell out" issue on the CR Laurance window and trying to locate a "FW904 Vent Glass replacement kit."
But for your crank issue, this thread may help: https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f34/window-mechanism-stripped-25057-3.html
And Amazon has a crank that others (on a Roadtrek site) say fits the CTL window: https://amzn.to/3v2hRJG
BTW, keep us posted on your CRL application.

Best Adhesive?

I know this is an old thread, but hoping you could help...
The lower half of my CRL window is coming loose on one half where the glass meets the hinge between the upper and lower part of the window. It looks like the left hinge pulled off the window allowing the window to rattle over bumpy roads and come loose. The right hinge which pops the window out using the crank still works and is connected to the window currently.
I tried using some two part epoxy on the left hinge and left half of the window. It worked for a day and has now come loose again after I drove it.
Anyone know what adhesive/epoxy might work on these parts. I am trying not to replace the whole window. I had to take it out years ago to fix a broken gear box that opens and closes the window. Not looking to take it out again if I can avoid it.
If I have to replace the whole window anyone know if the newer style can be retrofitted? The window I have has a bazillion small screws that hold it in. I thought I remember seeing the new ones didn't have the same design.
Thanks!

RingTheAlarm - I see I didn't make it very clear, all 3 of my crank out windows are now non-operative and "glued" shut to keep the lower glass from falling out. Even the one I replaced probably 10 years ago. Maybe all the washboard roads killed these as it did my passenger door window riser.

Hey, thanks Pat. What did you glue it shut with? The two part epoxy I used didnt seem to work.

Hopefully member JWA will read your question - he has a lot of experience in the glass biz. If you don't see a response from him on this thread soon, I'd initiate a PM in an attempt to capture his attention.

Hailed by ESP maybe?
I'm not familiar with that window however if its similar to other movable glass vehicle window units I'd use a high quality silicone exterior grade "adhesive/sealant" like found at Home Depot etc like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0UCAZUR8&psc=1
Be advised that link is for black but I prefer clear---should be able to find either on Amazon or locally too I'm sure.
When I pull that example up it shows as a previous purchase for me, if it won't display use this as a search term: GE5000 Advanced Silicone 2 Window & Door Sealant, 10.1oz, Clear, 10 Fl Oz
Using this between the glass pane and whatever it seals against does great but you would need to hold the glass into the sealant until it cures, up to a full 24 hours to be safe. This does somewhat ruin the sealing gasket (if equipped) but if that's not an issue proceed as you will.
FWIW my 2005 Club Wagon with full glass had its driver's side hinged side window (right behind the driver's seat) affixed like this and its worked perfectly since 2018 or so.
