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!
