i have a 95 accord, and the passenger side window is off track. i popped open the door interior, and i see 2 bolts that hold a metal thing (dont know whats it called) and then there was some previous glue that held the window together. the window itself at the bottom is not damaged at all.
would window adhesive work or something else? i will go to the auto parts store soon.
There's got to be a youtube DIY for this.
It's fairly straightforward; the only frustrating part will be popping the plastic rivets out of the door and breaking one or two.

im not asking about popping the interior out. the window at the bottom that connects the the metal part that holds the window is not glued on. i can take out the window at any second, thats why i need to know what kind of glue/adhesive i need.
The stuff you need is available at any good automotive paint and body supply store. Take a look in the yellow pages.
If you don't want to spring for the OEM type adhesive, very likely JB Weld would work. Don't quote me though, I have not tried this in practice, so it might not work.
Never heard of window glued to any window regulator part. There may be, as last time I had a Honda window out, was 3 years ago, a metal bracket that is glued to the glass itself, with a hole or threads for bolt to connect to window regulator.
Normally, glue used on glass is Super glue. Or Gorilla glue. Just make sure, you have glass perfectly cleaned, slightly coarse for glue to stick, and bracket also perfectly clean. And ware gloves, super glues do not like even oil from skin.

yes, correct. the glass is glued to a metal bracket, and the bracket has 2 bolts that bolts to the window regulator part.
I just used Permatex Windshield and Glass Repair Sealer (flow-able silicone). it says that it needs 24 hours to fully cure, so i will see if that does the trick tomorrow.
OP, hate to spoil your happiness, but that is SEALANT. It will stay pliable for years. You need strong ADHESIVE to hold glass to the metal. Sealants are not made to hold, they are made to plug holes so that water does not seep through.
I'd highly recommend do over, except that now you will have to spend extra time cleaning useless sealant. And THAT is not easy to clean.
