I just got some replacement windows from my co worker, but they dont have the metal channels attached to them, I will have to re-use my old ones. I have had bad luck with one in the past always comming loose from the channel. How do I swap them, is there a glue that would work better?
No glue.
A long time ago before this forum was really where it is today I ordered a piece of the "tape" from LMC. My dad was over one day and I asked him how I set the glass in the channel.

He asked for a hunk of 2x4. He proceeded to take the glass, channel, rubber, and 2x4 out on to my lawn and proceeded to WHACK the channel on the bottom of the glass with the rubber in between. It has been a long time but I think he had me mix up some soapy water to act as a lubricant which of course later disappeared when it was dry.
