I know this is a repeat of previous posts. Just a different take of the repair.

I got the car and within two days the rear window fell down. :-( Sad face




I did a temp glue job and now having to do the proper job.

I pulled the window out completely and started the scraping process to remove the old glue.


I found having a small battery operated vacuum around helps in sucking up the waste.

I found folded seam had separated and glued it back together with some wood blocks.

clamping the seam


I took a rotary sander drum to inside edge of the seam and cleaned off the all the previous glue and junk. This worked very well as it also roughed the surface. I think I used a 80 grit drum.


Once done, I took my newly acquired clamps to test fit the window. I came to the conclusion, I needed more clamps to keep the edges down once I am gluing. So I have ordered 6 more clamps. All the reviews bounce between great and crappy. Personally, they are not the best of suction cups, but they work fine if you have a clean surface and clean cups.


Need more clamps!

So until I get my clamps, the work is paused. Stay tuned for more crossfire repair on this crossfire thread.
