Re-Gluing your Car Door Window Glass that Fell Out

How to Re-Glue Car door Window Glass that Came Loose or Fell Out causing your window to get off track, break or get stuck.
This happened to a Toyota drivers window. I tried to secure it with 100% silicone but it only held for a week. I ended up doing a lot of research and visited an Auto Glass Repair shop to find the correct product and procedure to make the proper factory repair.
If you have a similar car door glass that fell out because the glue dried out, this video should help you to make the repair that will last.

Thank you. I went to my local autoglass shop and they charged me $50 for removing 2 bolts to diagnose the glue was no longer sticking to the channel. He wanted another $80 to take out the glass and re glue it. Do it myself it is.. Thanks a million for the tips. Cheers!

Yea blame the people that don’t work for free and are actually giving you a good deal.

i'd pay $130 in a heartbeat.

[@hummarstraful]

@@Mr._Chievous I'd pay $130, too. But after watching this video I wouldn't trust them to do a top shelf glue job like this. Would fear it coming undone again if I didn't do it myself.

[@Dube7666]

Thank you for the video, as one of the mounts broke and someone siliconed a mess when trying to fix it. A used car and thought it was the regulator, but disappointed to discover something I wasn’t prepared for until now. My issue, I’d prep everything like you did, but install the cradles with glue and drop the window into place… with no idea for sure if either previous mounts were in the right place. In my case, adhering the mounts to a previously incorrectly fixed vehicle results in disappointment. I believe even your marks and any inconsistency of installation on a table could lead to install problems, in some cases. You have a slotted front bolt that could allow for inaccuracy to an extent. In my situation, I might have to drill out the whole. Thank you for your video, which hopefully corrected a previous attempt that you explained why it likely failed.

[@madman7923]

Thanks so much. I really don't like the idea of letting my car sit in my apt without the window but its probably the smartest thing to do. This video helped me a ton thanks so much.

[@helpinguonline]

You're welcome!

[@bluemopar1970]

outstanding video! i don't honestly think there is one thing that you missed making this video. you it every point, no questions needed. great job.

[@helpinguonline]

Thanks for that

[@michaelkither2620]

Just some more tips...if by chance you have cleaned off the marks where the oe lugs were bonded,there is an small oval access hole in the inner door skin..make sure the front lug is lined up central to the access holewhen in that position as if the lower sliding retainer channel has moved, the sliders may hit the lugs during operating....I would also grease the sliders and lube the vertical running rubber as resistance is often the cause of the lugs pulling off...hope this may help someone

[@tommymaxfield4216]

This is exactly the problem that my Honda Civic has. The window has become unglued from the holders shown in this video. I thought, finally! A video that will show exactly what to do. This is after going through a bunch of KZbin videos that didn't apply (There's a difference between "Manual windows"and "Power windows", my friends!) Not only has the window become unglued, it's become completely free of the window lifters(The clamps/brackets that hold the window and make it raise up and down when you turn the window crank.....Are you with me so far?) I'm a pretty smart dude and I do have a knack for figuring out how to fix things(My Dad was an engineer)And, upon looking at how the mechanism that raises the window up and down works, I determined that the exact placement of the window while gluing it in place was important and if the window wasn't sitting in EXACTLY the right spot, it wasn't going to roll up and correctly. So, I have only one question for everyone out there in KZbinLand.......How are you supposed to mark where the window is in relation to the holders and where the screws are if it's already separated from them? Just a intelligent thought. So much for finding the video I needed.....

[@b0bd0d35]

I was wonder the same thing. You can see at 3:15 or so that there's two pieces of black electrical tape with a gap in between them on each side. That's how he marked it. That gap is where the bracket goes.

[@vajaynunthandass676]

In RSA I bought the similar glass for R300=$15 new .Must specializing in car glass fitment to get it right otherwise taking a chance won't work.Must let glue dry /set before trying it out.

[@MrForeverOnline]

Going to try using the Beta 418 sealant. Tried using silicone, but since I have a manual crank handle on one of my older cars it probably needs something stronger as the silicone one just slipped out after a couple weeks

[@dingdongajay]

Great video mate! i wasnt sure how to generally take a window out, and your techniqie of letting thr front drop out of the rails made total sense - woopwoop :)

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it helped

[@jamescc2010]

I like this way by removing the glass and marked the spots, put the glass back, and put screws in.. No taping of glass, or 2nd person holding. When I did mine, we did not clean the old glue and the clips, just put on Gorilla glue on. Hope it holds well for a while.

[@saytencushman3758]

I did what you did and it didn't work out for me😂. Now I'm holding my beta seal watching this guy., 🤣

[@brandonsalas6552]

Honesty is the best policy

[@stuckinmygarage6220]

Very good,👍. Spray some silicone - lightly! - in the channels while yr at it. And clear iut any debris blocking little drains.

[@photon0007]

I wanted to thank you for posting this, I'm having the same problem, getting ready to order the glue that you used but I wanted to ask you if it is still holding?

[@helpinguonline]

Still holding and it has been at least a couple years now

[@photon0007]

@helpinguonline thank you very much I really appreciate that!! When my window messed up I just assumed that it was the window regulator so I purchased one online put it in and it was the same problem. I remember when I initially pulled the window out one of the tabs fell off inside the door. So after the new one was in and again it was the same problem I basically connected the dots and realized what the real problem was. I did a search in your video popped up! So thanks for posting your video!!! I will order a product you used.

[@jquibble]

This is fantastic information. I've been scouring the interwebs for a while. My clip actually broke off on one side, so I need to get a new clip and glue back on. Any chance you know where to pick up a replacement? Looks like you're rocking around an 06 Camry, that's exactly what mine is, but I can't find any clips that fit that size, only bigger. Thanks for the great info, I will definitely be using this, been trying to figure out what use to glue back on.

[@GeneG-wk2mz]

I want to thank you so much I just did this to fix my brother driver window

[@helpinguonline]

Way to go!

[@saytencushman3758]

So you were able to glue the clips onto the window and then you put the window in the door? Don't the clips prevent it from going back in the door because it's such a tight fit? And are the clips suppose to be snug against the glass? Mine clips seem like there way wider then the glass is thick?

[@helpinguonline]

The glass goes in there fine because the panel with the inside seal is removed to do that job

[@pranayanagar675]

Good information...a practical query 😂

[@tannerhughes6274]

Could JB weld work? I’ve been struggling with mine and about to get it done. I’ve tried things as well, but I as left the prior glue in and hoped it would work. Now I’m about to do this exactly and take the window fully out and glue it.

[@anon1066]

Any updates on how this is holding up? Mine fell off back in October and I’ve just kinda left it rolled up since. The weather is starting to warm up and I’ll do this soon. I miss my window so bad.

[@helpinguonline]

Still working fine and holding strong.

[@anon1066]

@@helpinguonline thank you. This video is extremely helpful :)

[@Countryboylife228]

That’s not the correct glue for that it will work, but would work better if you use a beta seal 428+ it has primer built-in that way it sticks better to clean glass

[@photon0007]

The product he used also has primer built-in, research it, I did.

[@luckylesinthephilippines3086]

Thanks

Echo srm 225 run great for 20-30 minutes and then start to run rough and lost power,after a few hours later it run great again for 20-30 minutes and then start to run rough and lost power again.

It has been a little over two years and still working like a champ… No problems

Can you use gorilla glue

[@pranayanagar675]

I'm from India have corolla 2004 😂 broke right side door glass...couldn't get an original glass but somehow a local stuff and did it myself....when I press the auto mode while the glaas goes up it just hits the top and come down itself....can you diagnose the problem...

[@luisduar573]

You have to make the relearn, look for a video on KZbin how to do it it's very easy

[@pranayanagar675]

Can someone reply....if the glass is fully broken then how to decide the exact location of clips to be glued on a new glass....

[@gregorsamsa1364]

New glass should come with clips already glued in place

[@chuckaaron2014]

Glass comes with new clips already on

[@JayceeCordova]

I just did this yesterday, I basically pull most stuff out until I get to the window part and unscrew the fastener holding the broken window glass. I clean it off and screw it back. Then I slide the new glass down to the fastener, but have to redo it all again because I forgot the glue. P.S. My glass didnt come with the fastener.

[@frog7118]

The $20 adhesive is bad enough, but the $30 caulking gun to apply it makes me want check out how much a professional is gonna gouge me for.

[@tommymaxfield4216]

Sorry bro, but If you paid $30 for a chalking gun......I just might have some Florida real estate that you might be interested in.....😂

[@richardsamaniego3789]

What is the name of the glue again?

My man If you were wrong on the first video why would you do an update with a second video. Now he's going to listen to you. 😂 Good luck man I don't glue windows I'm mount them

3m so pricey

[@kevinha7860]

can i use double side tape????

[@helpinguonline]

I am not aware of any double sided tape that will work for this application.

lol

[@gregboggs4721]

A great big NO!

[@chuckaaron2014]

NOOOOOO
