2025 C2 of the Year ('63 and '67) Finalist - Unmodified
Default Wing window

Hello all, quick question.
Went for a nice ride tonight, got home and noticed the drivers wing window had come loose from the frame. Is clear silicone the way to fasten this back in? If not what is the preferred method?
Thanks

Window mounting grip strip is what is used. If you don’t care about originality, silicone caulk would hold it.

As 65 Pro Vette says, use glass setting tape. When I've needed it, I've been able to get what I needed at local glass shops... FREE. You don't need much.

You'll have to remove frame from car to do it right...
