Sikaflex do an awesome range of products…….but there are so many to choose from, it’d be great to get an idea of which Sika product for this application….. Wink

Melissa,

What was the glue you used, that failed?

Another option may be a 3M VHB double sided tape….. Rolleyes

There is a double sided tape that they use for holding panels in automotive 

Is that what that is Grant?

Reckon it could be the go if there is enough surface to get hold of

I don't remember - if we had access to the old forum, I did have a post on there.

I am going to give it a try with the Loctite tomorrow.

So I removed the window today. The glue was able to be peeled off in most spots which was pretty easy.

I decided against the Loctite and went with a Sikaflex product - only thing is it is black - would have preferred clear but didn't have the choice.
