Z3 Quarter Window Loose

Discussion in 'E36/7 Z3 (1996-2002)' started by Philip Ross, Jul 28, 2008.

    My 96 Z3 Driver's Side Quarter Window has come loose from the upright support.

    Is there an approved procedure for applying new adhesive to assure a good fix the first time!?? Can an autoglass place do it without any special specs?

    TIA,
    Phil

    I'll reply to my own question here. I took the car to a local autoglass place. They looked at the problem and said they could remove the old adhesive/sealant with a razor blade and replace it with a butyl sealant from a caulking tube. 1 hour to cure while clamped and I could be on my way. $30 plus tax and it seems to be good as new. Definitely good to have someone that is familiar with the material and has solvents to clean the glass, etc.
