Problems with window rolling down

[KCGDot]

I've just got a quick question, wondered if anyone had any ideas or suggestions.

I had this problem on my 92 Cougar as well as my current 91 Conti. There are 2 brackets that hold the windows to the slider track on the inside of the door, one in the front, as in towards the hinge, and one in the back, as in towards the latch side of the door.

Now on both of these cars, I'm guessing just due to age, and stress of pulling the window down without the tracks having proper lubrication(also a condition of age), that the window gets pulled out of the bracket in the rear, causing the back of the window to stay up while the front of the window gets pulled down.

I've tried many things, epoxy, gel, the adhesive you use for affixing rearview mirrors(almost worked, didn't quite set and got bumped, might try again).

What I'm looking for is any other ideas or possible solutions to the problem, cause I'm sick of having to push down on the back of my window everytime I want to roll it down.

Your local glass shop has a rubbery tape insert to go into the brackets that will hold it. I'm sure they would sell you a foot or two of it.

I fixed it, quite well I might add too, with some 5 minute, plastic weld perma poxy. I got it cause it listed both metal AND glass on the list of bondable surfaces, don't really think it matters TO much with the general purpose epoxy's.

Mixed some, spread it on the window after I sanded the glass to remove the smooth surface, and on the bracket, worked like magic!

Next I'm buying a one touch module, some new class comfort in an old car.
