Back window glue

[Anchored nomad]

Anyone have their back window glass shift down (leaving a 1" gap) due to, seemingly, dried glue/sealant?

I am going to attempt to take off the trim and delve deeper into it this evening or tmrw....has anyone had something similar happen to theirs?

My 2005 Hawk has this problem too... and I haven't done a permanent fix -- just duct tape, so far.
So I'm also interested in a good fix.

Had similar happen on my '02 Hawk when the two small nubs that the window glass rests on broke. The glass then shifts down, leaving a gap. The sealant around the window frame was just a sealant and not really for holding the glass in my case. It is those plastic nubs. My fix is documented here: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/14941-door-refurb-on-fwc-hawk/?hl=oregonozzy#entry176214

Our glass hasn't slid, but I noticed the rear window leaking and removed the bezel around it to discover it's only held in by traditional window glazing putty, no silicone, or any kind of actual adhesive.

It comes apart easily. New small blocks underneath (plastic scrap pieces work well) and 3M 4200 sealant will get you back in business.

I removed the glass and cleaned old sealant, then reset the glass using 3m marine silicone. That was 5+ yrs ago, still holding up just fine. FYI, Silicone is used for aquarium construction.
