Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My window molding on a Cab is slightly ripped. I want to just glue the rip together. Anyone have any ideas on what kind of product that will do that? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Super weather stripping adhesive you can pick up just about anywhere at an auto parts store will do the trick. It is a red tube and the adhesive is yellow. Try not to get it on the external surface and make sure the torn area is clean with lacquer thinner or acetone. Dries really fast so when you commit, dont hesistate or it make be PITA to correct.

POST 3Original post

Try some 3-M Trim Cement - comes in a big white & red tube with a screw cap lid. You can either buy it in an auto supply store (the real 'supply' stores, not AutoZone, etc) or you can buy it on Ebay. The stuff is tenacious as all get out. It works so well that Gregg Lemond used it to glue his racing tires on!!!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys. Do any of these dry clear or black? Just don't want final result to end up yellow or white or some other color. Thanks

Not that Im aware of, thats why I said not to get it on the external surface.

POST 6Original post

3M trim adhesive is black, I would not use the 'yellow peril' anywhere visible

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 6745776

My 3M Trim Adhesive is the ugle yellow colore. I'll try to get a p/n when I get home tonight.

POST 9Original post

Just for the record, the 3M Fast Tack Trim Adhesive that I referred-to (yellow glue) p/n is 05113508031. Best to use the 'black' stuff for your moulding repair though. BTW: the yellow stuff flows very freely and it's almost best to spread it by gently squeezing the tube then smearing it with a brush.

POST 10Original post

Will this adhesive work for this separation on my convertible top?

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I can tell you from experience with the window and the top not the glue. Glue will not repair that window. The problem is application of the glue. There is no way to get the glue into that seam in enough quantity for the glue to do its job without causing further separation. Looks like you need a new window anyway. Cheapest route: new plastic window sewn in by someone who knows what they are doing. G/L
