Some one broke out this glass on our Caprice .
Got the broken glass pretty much vacuumed up . Door dissembled , Drilled out the 2 pop rivets holding 2 aluminum strips together & removed both from the door .
One aluminum strip is glued to the bottom of the glass . Cleaned the remaining broken glass & old adhesive from the groove in this strip .
The other strip contains 2 plastic glide clips ( one of which was broken ) . The ” scissor jack ” like mechanism of the regulator interfaces with the glide clips in the other strip . Each of the 2 ” arms ” of the regulator has a ball end stud . Each of the 2 ball end studs fit into a center hole in one of the glide clips .
The glide clips are discontinued with GM . Found & ordered some new glide clips on the internet .
Sourced a new replacement glass . The bottom of the glass has 2 holes , approximately 1/4″ . These seem to line up with corrisponding holes in the aluminum strip holding the 2 plastic glide clips . I bought 2 1/4″ x 20 tpi plastic / nylon screws & hex nuts from Home Depot . I plan to use them to attach ( loosely ) the glass to the strip , for trial fitting .
I searched for the correct adhesive to secure the glass to the aluminum strip . At first intended to use E6000 adhesive . Then I began to wonder if it would be flexible enough ?
After much searching on the internet , I came up with 3M Window Weld # 06909 urethane .
Is this the correct adhesive ?
Well , I am going to try to start a trial fit , this afternoon .
Thanks , :-_)
God bless
