What glue should I use for back window glass installation?
My rear window busted out and I got a new one, including a seal, from ebay.
But I have no idea what I'm supposed to attach it with, especially given that it sits mostly vertical. So I want to make sure what I'm using is at the very least as strong as the manufacturer.
Looking at what's currently there for the rear window, it doesn't appear like there is any glue on there, but I mean, it has to be something right?

Professional Auto Glass Installers use Professional Supplies.
Most have special tools, special caulking guns, special adhesives.
They like to use BEATASEAL ExpressBP by Dow Automotive Systems.
It's a Advanced Cure Auto Glass Urethane Adhesive.
This. All of it. If you want it installed right, take the glass you purchased to a pro shop and pay them for the install. Glass isn't something the average shade tree mechanic can do.
What Jim said. It's worth the cost to have a pro install it. I did mine and after getting the adhesive and the time involved it wouldn't have been much more to have it done.
