Title: truck window advise needed.
Post by: sled on November 21, 2013, 05:22:42 PM: This Morning Going To Work I Rolled Down My Window. It Was Frozen And The Track Pulled Loose From The Glass. What Do Dealers Or Auto Shops Use For Adhesive To Glue Glass To Steel? I Went To Auto Parts Store But They Were To Wishy Washy On What To Recommend.

In Your Experience, Will This Work In This Cold Weather Or Should I Wait Until It Warms Up A Bit?
