Ideally a clamp/brackets should have been in place to further secure it. Wind can easily push the glass panel outwards and could result in a serious accident

Hi Tomraven,

The attached pictures is what I have taken when I did the HHT conversion in 2017. They were using this lube and the person holding this lube was applying the same in my Thar. I am not sure

I had the same problem for the side glass panel 2 years back and when I informed Prabhu, he quickly pointed to Windshield experts here in Chennai to get this fixed. Windshield experts guys removed the glass panel and applied new sealant and this is holding good so far.

Thank you very much. I fixed the glass panel with a mix of silicone sealant and another rubber based adhesive{No more nails}. However I doubt it would hold again. Will try and screw some small 90 degree brackets for further stability.
The product which you mentioned appears to be imported and is not available online. Hope to buy something similar and apply a further lining from the inside.
Those with HHT please watch out for this. Repeated closure of the rear door will weaken the glass attached to the fiberglass panel and once it does it will come crashing down.

Hi Tomraven,

Glad that you fixed it using alternate solutions. The above product is 'Made in Swiss'.
