My window molding on a Cab is slightly ripped. I want to just glue the rip together. Anyone have any ideas on what kind of product that will do that? Thanks

Super weather stripping adhesive you can pick up just about anywhere at an auto parts store will do the trick.

It is a red tube and the adhesive is yellow.

Try not to get it on the external surface and make sure the torn area is clean with lacquer thinner or acetone.

Dries really fast so when you commit, dont hesistate or it make be PITA to correct.

Try some 3-M Trim Cement - comes in a big white & red tube with a screw cap lid. You can either buy it in an auto supply store (the real 'supply' stores, not AutoZone, etc) or you can buy it on Ebay. The stuff is tenacious as all get out. It works so well that Gregg Lemond used it to glue his racing tires on!!!

Thanks guys. Do any of these dry clear or black? Just don't want final result to end up yellow or white or some other color. Thanks

Not that Im aware of, thats why I said not to get it on the external surface.

3M trim adhesive is black, I would not use the 'yellow peril' anywhere visible

My 3M Trim Adhesive is the ugle yellow colore. I'll try to get a p/n when I get home tonight.

Just for the record, the 3M Fast Tack Trim Adhesive that I referred-to (yellow glue) p/n is 05113508031. Best to use the 'black' stuff for your moulding repair though. BTW: the yellow stuff flows very freely and it's almost best to spread it by gently squeezing the tube then smearing it with a brush.

Will this adhesive work for this separation on my convertible top?

I can tell you from experience with the window and the top not the glue. Glue will not repair that window. The problem is application of the glue. There is no way to get the glue into that seam in enough quantity for the glue to do its job without causing further separation. Looks like you need a new window anyway. Cheapest route: new plastic window sewn in by someone who knows what they are doing. G/L
