Machanes;

I've reattached my window handles with rear view mirror adhesive, purchased at an auto parts store. Prepping is the key, clean with solvent or high concentration alcohol before applying the adhesive. Mine have been fine for 3 years now.

Gene

I have used epoxy, the glue for rear view mirrors and double stick 3M max strength tape. My feeling is that the epoxy was the best.

Ok. All is well. I used epoxy to get the handle to stick to the window.
It worked, so far......

Thanks again everyone for of your help,

I have had difficulty opening the side windows but discovered that if I push the latch AND apply pressure to 'nudge' the window forward, it opens up just fine. The latch on Plan C is just very tight!

And I appreciate the hints for cleaning!
