The drivers side window on my 99 mustang came off the tracks again.. I just got the car and the guy told me about the issue, and I figured its a good price for the car I can fix this. I took the door apart on Friday night and got the glass out and cleaned up. I cleaned the tracks to get all of the old glue out.. That took a while. The guy I got the car from gave me a big tube of "glue" to fix it with. It looks like what is used to install windshields. But.. It had a best if used by date of April 2001.. I figured I already had it all apart and cleaned that I would just go ahead and use the glue. Well last night the window came off the tracks again..
From what I heve red it looks like a common problem with the 99 stang. What year did they mount the track to the glass? I was thinking about replacing the glass and wanted to get one that wasnt glued again.. I have a convertable, is the glass different than a coup?
If I decide to fix it insted of replacing it, any tips on how to do it.. Glue to use? How to line it up because I didnt line it up perfect when I did it. the glass didnt go under the top correctly

I had to do this for my boss awhile back, and used black RTV. Let it sit for a few days to set, and it has been great since.
