Side window is loose

Post by doctor_tom »

Hi

My side window is coming loose and is letting in air so is rather noisy

Is it just glued in?

Do I just rip it off and glue it back in?

NO

The quarter window is bolted in. There is a bolt behind the vent grill and some on the inside behind the plastic trim. It is also sealed in with some butyl type stuff.

If you search on here for quarter window sealing you may find the toyota number or a link to the 3M stuff people have used.

As above the window is bolted in although the metal tabs with the studs on are bonded to the glass.

So although they could be coming loose the window should still be stuck on pretty well with the butyl strip/gunk.

Thanks for the replies

I'll take it off and see what he issue is.

The bottom corner towards the front of the car lifts away from the car over 8-90mph.
