    See Tim Parker of SBC installing brackets

    See my thread where I had Tim Parker of SBC install my window brackets. He used Liquid Nails. See pictures for the specific variety of Liquid Nails.

    Hey VXNIT, I remember on tom4bren's post at his window fixin party he used black RTV on his windows. You may want to get his input.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    I just used epoxy with the new brackets. Hope I never have to take it apart

    That's the exact reasons I went with the black RTV. I know it works well on glass & metal, it's temperature insensitive, and to me the biggest selling point is that if I dorked something up - it can be reworked without trashing the bonded parts.

    Joe, I went with the Devcon today on SBC bracket install. Little pain mixing and getting in the brackets but seems to hold well. I had no broken tabs and jsut modified front gasket track and so far so good.
