Electric truck window problem
So my driver's side window is starting to act up. I've had the door apart twice in the last month due to the glass coming out of the clips that hold it to the slide arm (or whatever you call it). Not a big deal to fix when it happens but it's getting annoying. I'm wondering if there's a trick to get the glass to stay in place? There are two clips - one forward and one aft - that the glass simply presses into. It looks as if there may have been some sort of sealant that helped hold it in place but I'm not certain. Behind the inner door cover is a piece of thick plastic held in place by a sticky, gum-like black sealant. It pulls apart like silly putty and re-seals nicely. I have no idea what it's called.
Is this same sealant supposed to be inside those clips to help hold the glass in place?
Should I pinch the clips tighter together for a more snug fit?
Is it possible that the glass is binding causing it to pull out of the clips? If so, any tricks to remedy this?
Anyone with any experience in these matters that can offer some suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim

You're looking for a service manual not owners manual
I am sure there is an epoxy for it
When you got out of jail you would have to buy a new door, then you might have to paint the door, and those darn wires and the speaker is probably blown and two or three of the electric switches are probably bad because the door was in the junk yard.
:Spittingcoffee Well that's a contingency often unanticipated and unappreciated. Does this happen to you often?
Oh, and I don't think that they call them that anymore , BTW.
You need a new regulator, Tim.

Not yet, but isn't it nice that I could help you expand your thinking a wee bit? If you have a problem maybe you should look at all the possibilities. It's what thinking people do!
"Baton" is the word you want, Officer Joe.

Sort of like the highly unlikely need for the hurricane hardening that the WMDs and other local govenments do. :grin
Not at all.

So, just to help you out, ever had a car broken into? Is it crazy to think about that? Does humor ever enter your thinking, or are you that guy that chases cranes and children with his golf cart, screaming obscenities at them for trespassing?
I used to use the Dodge Ram forum,but this one has a wider range of possibilities. Not about the fix, however.
Bingo. The window on our Expedition came loose twice. The second time I used 5200. Been about 3 or 4 years now and still holding. I think the little bit of flex helps.
:grin
You are all over the place with this sillyassed defense, ain'tcha? Now you were claiming that it was "funny"?
Yeah, My 740T was broken into once, but it wasn't by a cop wielding a "nightstick".

Yes
No

Again. Identical. The each have the same possibility of happening or being needed. :rotflmao
Classic Gary non-answer.
Okay, I will edit it , " a cop uses a bit of Billy Clubbery........."

Trying to reduce it to its lowest common denominator is a favor to you, it's not bicycling.
In his zeal to sow auuuthortai the cop blackjackeried the window....... It has a certain poetic roll to it.
