Is there a specific brand of glue people recommend? I need something that can resist moisture too.
I personally prefer 3M products. Their adhesive is designed for automotive use and performs well under weather conditions.
Great suggestion! I’ve used 3M glue before and had positive results. The only downside is that it can be pricier.
Does the temperature affect the application process? I live in a region with extreme heat.
Absolutely! Heat can cause the adhesive to cure too quickly or not adhere properly. Try to work in a moderate environment if possible.
That sounds rough. I guess it’s a good idea to check the adhesive’s temperature range first.

I can’t help but chuckle imagining someone applying glue and then faints in the heat. Oh the drama of car repairs!
Don’t laugh too hard, it can happen! But it’s true—understanding what you’re working with makes all the difference.
Hi everyone! I’m looking to fix my car window track but I don’t know what type of glue to use. Any recommendations?
You might want to try a polyurethane adhesive. It tends to have a strong bond. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before applying!
I’ve had issues with improper adhesion using some glues. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely. Sometimes the curing conditions can mess things up.

What kind of conditions are most problematic? Heat, humidity?
Exactly, kyleriley! High humidity can prevent glues from curing properly. It’s best to apply adhesive on a dry day if possible.
For preventing curing issues, I recommend warming up the glue a bit before application. It improves flow and adhesion.
I had a funny incident where I used too much glue and it overflowed. Now I always use a smaller amount, and it works!
That’s a clever tip! What glue do you prefer to use? I’m still deciding!
I prefer using Loctite in this case. It holds up well in automotive applications and is resistant to weather conditions.
I’ve heard good things about Loctite! Does it cure fast, too?
Yes! It has a fairly quick curing time. Just remember, surfaces must be clean for it to bond properly.
