Has anyone had a problem with the adhesive that holds the rear glass to the hinge coming lose ? I had been having trouble with the lift gate and the glass binding on the roof line when opened after the truck had been in the sun. I removed the spoiler that holds the high mount stop light because the two outer mounting bolts had broken from the plastic, thinking that was the reason for the binding. After repairing but before I could get a chance to re-install, I open the rear glass to find that the left side has become separated from the hinge. Lucky for me it did not break the glass so I removed the lift strut from the glass to remove the force on the glass. Can anyone confirm what was used to secure the glass to hinge, looks like it maybe windshield urethane. I'm considering either 3M 08609 super fast urethane or would an epoxy be better ? Not sure about the force of the lift strut against the repair maybe repair and leave the strut off a few weeks or until cooler weather allowing the adhesive to cure. Any thoughts ?
