So on my '75 Royale, the drivers side window in the living room, above the couch.
The fixed pane had pulled back from the front edge like they sometimes do.
So I pulled out the window, cleaned the stuff off it and then glued it back in with black silicone RTV.
Or so I thought!
It was barely in there, so I'm trying again today...OK thats not working!
Does anyone have any tricks and tips on how to glue in the dang window??
Thanks

Thanks, Sounds interesting, but I don't see that part number anywhere.
I wonder if they discontinued it.

All black silicone rtv is not created equal. Jim Bounds has tubes of it made by the glazing (glass) industry and what a difference it makes. Not easy to use but the outcome is exceptional. I have been applying over all old fixed seals in all windows and frame edges and leaks have disappeared.
Give him a call, it's not available retail or wholesale and most glass shops are pretty uncooperative when no glass selling is happening.

I guess I don't see how that will hold in the window like glue does.
I called Jim B and got the scoop on RTV, I'll try that again, maybe I'll get it eventually

Several years ago my right side fixed window slid back, at that time I used some silicone and tapped it back in place . I then added a small stainless steel screw to the top and bottom of the 4 aluminum window supports (or as the book calls them Mullions). It has never leaked and it can't move with a screw at the top and bottom. Last week I had to replace the fixed glass on the left side (large one). This time I used the correct stuff it is some kind of polyurethane adhesive that replaces the original butyl stuff and it is nasty messy stuff but boy does it stick good. I got it at the auto glass place next to a Pick apart junk yard. It only costs $6 for the tube and it says for professional use only trained installers only on the tube. The mfg. is Sika Sikaflex 220+. Also Kragen had a tube of somewhat similar stuff made by 3M for windshields that will set you back $16. Good luck and your hands are going to be black for a while did I say nasty stuff.

Thanks guys.
I'd be more than willing to pay $16 for something that gets this job DONE!

Acetone, as in finger polish remover, will remove most of these glues.

Sounds like "Gorilla Snot" to me. Your auto parts store
should know what you are asking for by that name. I used
it to glue door weather-stripping back in place.
Yes, you can't keep from getting it on your fingers and
you can't wash it off, that I know of. You just have to
wait until the top layer of your epidermis grows out!
