Default Need help with busted window

I have a 99 Stang and my driver side window is slipping out of the black bracket at the bottom of the glass. The dealer says that I have to replace the whole window and that the bracket can't be glued to the glass. I took the door panel off and it already as clear silicone on both brackets. What's the deal? Can you glue this thing or not? I'm thinkning some kid of Gorrila Glue or Black RTV.<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">

First, taking it to the dealer was a bad idea.</P>


Take it to an experienced auto glass shop. They will know how rig something up for you!! </P>

Thanks for the advice guys. I went out to Discount Auto and bought some SUPER EPOXY. The only thing super about it was the price. Once the window goes up enough to be waterproof it torques the window and no good. I'm gonna try and go up to the scrap yard and see if they have a window I can use. I'll let you guys know what happens.</P>
