Plastic Window Tab
Alright so my window ***** up fell off track on my 00 civic coupe, figured whatever i'll take it off and i'll realign it. This time its way worse. The 2 plastic tabs that are glued to the window(on an integra there are bolts going thru the tab, so its not just glued to the window) at the bottom decided to come off. But just on the left one. I'll post pictures up later. Anyways how do i glue the damn piece of **** back to the window? Its the plastic tab that is stuck to the window that pulls the window up and down when the motor moves.

Re: Plastic Window Tab (dogfood)
bump. this is a picture of the window tab i speak off. From the factory it is literally glued onto the window, but it seperated somehow. What type of adhesive would be strong enough to bond it back to the glass?

Re: Plastic Window Tab (civicmatt)
I had the same problem on my civic just go out and get a new window and save yourself the trouble!! I Tried like a million differnet things but could never find the right one. Maybe you can but i think i spent 25 bucks in different glues and a new window was only 55 + 15 for the tint. It's up to you thought
remember the glue has to have some kind of flex to it because of when the window moves up and down it has different stress points. all the glue that i tried worked fine for a little while but if it got a little cold then they broke loose

This exact thing happened to my window, I I took it back to where I got my replacement window and he used that urethane black stuff on it. It has been over a year now with no problems.
