Little help with window issue
2001 SuperCrew
Window fell of the track today, I pulled the door panel and found that the clips that hold the window slipped off the window
I was able to pull the clips (and with the help of a hammer) squeezed the clips tighter, and I put them back onto the window and reattached to the track.
The fixed worked, but I feel that it’s not going to hold for long and I want to know if there is a better fix.
EDIT I feel that I should add the piece I took out was a u-shaped clip with silicone on it bolted to the motor track with a 10mm nut, I took the hammer smashed it tighter and then reinstalled
Thanks in advance

The best way is to glue it back on. Urethane windsheild adhesive works the best. It comes in a tube that fits in a caulk gun. It's available at napa auto parts and other parts stores. it's about $12-$15 a tube. It's super strong, it's easy to work with but wear gloves cause you dont want it on your skin (its a pain to wash off). You might even get it apart and go to a windshield shop and have them add the glue.
