Drivers side rear vent window actuator handle has separated from the glass

Hi,

Based on cost, I would try a good glass adhesive. It should hold. The original part was glued to the glass, so that should be an option. The hardest part will likely be removing the old adhesive.

Before purchasing a new window, try the adhesive. It should do the job for you.

Just as a reference, I attached a pic below showing how the two are connected.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe

Frank,

That's a good idea. Let me know how things turn out for you. Also, please feel free to come back anytime in the future.

Take care,

Joe

Those are glued in place with the same glue that is used for rear view mirror pucks. Go on the outside and draw a ring around the existing glue mark as a target. As Joe said the hardest thing is getting the old glue off, usually a good razor blade will work. Then you scrub the metal pad with steel wool and alcohol to clean it. The trick with gluing anything to glass is getting both items very clean. Once clean you line the piece up with the target you drew just to confirm it's correct. Now wipe both pieces with the cleaner they include in the kit and apply the glue. Put the piece in place and hold it for the time the instructions say, that's usually a couple minutes. Then let it set as long as possible before using it to let the glue fully cure.
Watch how the glass guy does it and you will likely see that same process.

You sort of cheat and look through the glass as you make the marks. On the caravans you can usually do that with the hatch open. You can mark on the inside but as you surmise the marks get removed as you remove the glue and clean the area.

Good to hear you got it taken care of. I've done a few of those over the years.
