Oops

Just did mine last weekend with the 3M window weld and primer. Pretty easy to apply. We will see how it holds up. Thanks to the tipsters on this forum.

Good choice. I used it in the Summer of 2014. Still good, 20,000+ miles later.....

Hi I did this method with the rhino glue and it worked out great

problem is, I went to the tint shop to have the rear window tinted and it didn’t come out great

they said the glue was in the way and the only way to get it perfect would be removing the window again. Would there be any easy way of doing this?

Update to my post a couple of posts back, in November, 2021. I used 3M Window Weld in 2014. Still going strong, now 8 years, 25,000 miles later!!! Word to the wise; do NOT get it on anything that you don't want it on, and have plenty of rags, gloves, and brake cleaner handy!!!!:thumbs:

You'll be fine! See my post!!!:cheers:

So, after almost 12 years, my back window started to come out again (just a bit though). So, I just got done re gluing it in with 3m window weld. This time, instead of acetone, I used brake cleaner, and like others said, use gloves or have black stains on your hands for a day or two! Here are some pics...

I'll bet you've found its a lot easier to do if you catch it before it falls out completely!!! My wife caught mine on its way out. Talk about a shocker! We were cruising around the 'Back to the Bricks' annual car cruise, and all of a sudden, she says real calmly 'Oh look, Mike, the rear window is falling out!!!!' DOHHHH!!!!! Talk about high blood pressure!!!

My buddy has glass coverage on his C5, they actually replaced his top because the glass was falling out

I did mine myself in 2014. 9 years, and 45,000 miles later, it's still good. If doing yourself, I HIGHLY recommend 3M Window Weld. My results speak for themselves.....:thumbs:

I just used 3M Window Weld on my rear window that was separating. I put a blanket inside to put pressure on the window.
I masked it off and applied the Window Weld. I then put weight on the outside areas.
After 24 hours, I checked to see if there were any spots needing more. Sometimes it is difficult to see how much was distributed, but it is better less than more. I applied Window Weld in the areas that didn't quite fill to the edge.
After all was finished, I took a razor blade and trimmed any excess. Everything came out great with very little mess. See attached pictures.

I hope this helps someone. Please feel free to message.

Moving this to C5 Tech - lots of good posts on how to reattach the back window on a vert.

Fixed mine 9 years ago with 3M Window Weld. Still working as new!! 3M WW is the only way to go. I used shower stall handles with suction cups, and ran motorcycle tie-downs from the suction handles to my ceiling trusses. One key for me was getting to it BEFORE it fell all the way out!!!!! OP-BE ADVISED.....This stuff is the stickiest goo I've ever worked with. Have some toothpicks, rags, paper towels, and a full can of Brake Parts Cleaner handy. It's not that hard if you take your time and think things thru. If mine.makes it just 5 more years it will have lasted as long as the factory glue!!!!

Wow, I didn't think of that.... Thanks.
