What substance does Ford use to attach windows to the window assembly?

[king nothing]

My mom tried to roll down her window on her 00 Expedition while it was freezing outside and the mechanism that grabs her window broke off on each side. I just took off the door panel to see what was the problem and thats what I found out. I can line the mechanism back up with the window and it will close the window but the window slips back out on the way down. Now it looks like hot glue is sticking out the sides of the grabber things so I was thinking I would just pull all that out, put in some hot glue, and put the window back on it.
Is it really hot glue or is it somethin else like epoxy or silicone? Someone help me!!

I just had the same problem last week, I take a part the two clips that holding the glass to the meccanism I did clean inside from the old silicon with sand paper, I tight a little with a pliers, place a new coat of silicon for outside use, and insert back to the glass, the clips have to be a little tight when you install it back, and have to be insert in exactly same position where was originally. Try slowly to bring the glass down and up, help with your hands, when it going down make sure the position of the clips are correct.
Than close the window and keep it close for a day. It will work fine.

I did the same thing, however, it will probably come loose again.

Anyone know if it is an epoxy? Just had the same issue this past weekend and have everything done with the exception of the glue / epoxy...HELP?!?!

I think ur right, it is some kind of an industrial strength epoxy.

Try Home Depot or Lowes. Look for a polyurethane caulk, in a tube, in the paint isle. when these set up they are very strong and flexible
