Help...Window is detaching from frame Reply #31 – January 20, 2014, 07:36:08 AM Then why do so many people have this problem and the numbers are endless on all the forums i go on. Seems like others like my ideas Then tell me why stacks do those window tabs separate in the first place. PRICELESS!!! If your windows worked for 25 years then why are you offering a fix??? Either you are fibbing or just another useless post from the regulars!:bowdown: Ok you win they never separate!! The poster is LYING about his window issue. I see them do this all the time. So just for the record STACKS you have fixed how many ZERO but you posted several times on how to fix the issue.o just curious stacks why do they sell those clips with set screws and boast a permanent fix. Those clips do not work and you can not duplicate the procedure how they were initially installed at the factory WHEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! I think i will PM J with the mods from now on or better yet keep them to myself! If the regulars do not post the fixes or should i say if i post hem they fall on deaf ears ! But i am a guillotine for punishment i should have learned my lesson by now. Sorry for trying to help as usual i stand corrected. Quote Selected
Help...Window is detaching from frame Reply #32 – January 20, 2014, 07:59:05 AM Took this post from another site. Fancy that!!!Hmm, it looks like this IS a common problem with our cars. The clips separate from the glass I called all the local glass shops in my area, and they were of no particular help other than a total glass replacement. They knew nothing specific about these particular window problems or a fast fix.Thanks, Kit Sullivan Quote Selected

Help...Window is detaching from frame Reply #34 – January 20, 2014, 02:13:15 PM tom, ill bet I've owned more cougar/birds then you have fixed. my white 87 bird had this problem when I bought it. I had to re-do the window twice. first time I used just glue on stock broken window clips. second time I lubed everything, used the larger clips and the black windshield adhesive it lasted some 60k or so until I drove it into the junkyard( it still worked btw). I was driving a minimum of 500 miles a week and constantly using my window as I am a heavy smoker. I'm sure I got more then the average lifespans worth of use out of it. the other 7 or 8 I've owned and driven all worked fine.if I did it again, I might just fabricate your channels, but I see little point, where the glass sits on protrusions for the stock clips anyways, and the oversized clips take up nearly as much room as is available anyways.

Help...Window is detaching from frame Reply #38 – January 20, 2014, 08:07:54 PM Stacks i do not want to embarrass you as to how many Turbo coupes i have owned over the years. True i am a CHEVY guy. But i think i stopped counting @ $$ Well lets call it a day i do not want to get in to it with you as i enjoy you posts immensely. Actually i wait to see when your name pops up and i immediately click on. With that please keep your money as just the Turbo Coupes i have owned would shock you. Not only the windows we fix every day in the body shop my personal cars are another story. Your vast knowledge of the automotive business totally fascinates me. So how many Fords have you actually owned and exactly how many window issues have you repaired. Then lets compare notes. I am older so i will factor that in. Now how many T Birds i have owned once again would blow your mind. Have a good night Stacks. Stacks you have owned more cougars than i have fixed, That is priceless and foolish as i am authorized ford repair facility and have been that for many years. My dad was authorized by Ford ever since i can remember and i have been doing ford overflow warranty issues for years. Do you really believe what you post. It boggles the imagination at best.
