- Need to re-glue aluminum trim back onto a glass t-top in an automotive application.
I have an automotive restoration project I am working on. I need to glue an aluminum trim strip edging to a glass t-top. Ideally, I'd use 1-part polyurethane windshield adhesive. The problem is that it's so damn thick it's near impossible to squeeze out of the tube into the strip. The strip is U-shaped and has only a 3/16" gap to work with. The windshield adhesive is just too thick to squeeze into that space if you use a nozzle small enough to fit into the gap. So I'm looking for an alternative adhesive. The requirements are that it be thin enough to squeeze into the narrow gap, that it resist the temperature extremes that an automobile roof would experience, and that it be stable and not 'dry out' and let go over time. Suggestions?
