[Vwdiesel] Loose Vent Windows

[Dave Cook]

On Friday I rattled over to the local Safelite Glass place to see what their advice was, figuring that they frequently had to glue rearview mirrors on cars.

The lady took a look at my windows and said, "We can't fix 'em because of the liability we'd be under then."  (Sidenote, really, liability?  Sheesh!)

But she agreed to show me what they use on the mirrors and said it worked better than the glue you get in the little kits at the FLAPS.  She said that they ordered it from a FLAPS but she didn't know any other specifics.  

Anyway, it is this stuff:

Even on ebay it is pretty freaking expensive!

I think I'll try a cheapo kit once and see what happens.  If that doesn't work, I might try finding a different window shop, or maybe stopping by the Safelite at the end of the day and talking to one of the techs, maybe Abe Lincoln would score me a few drops...  :)
