My rear side window detached from the hinge at the glued joint. Anyone had this happen? If I try re- gluing it, what glue would be best?

    I ended up using 3m urethane windshield adhesive. So far so good. I guess time will tell. I cleaned, glued and clamped all night. Then installed it the next morning.
