EDIT: Originally this thread was titled "Should I use Loctite or other adhesive on my window regulator clamp bolt?".
Due to the exigency at hand, the thread necessarily morphed into "How not to fix a front driver's side window regulator".
This is the 'second' time my front driver's side window has fallen out of its clamps, in about a year.
Most likely I'm doing something wrong or I'm skipping a key step (or I'm missing a small piece of something 'clampy').
About a year ago, when I first put the window back in its clamps, I tightened the single bolt on each clamp as tightly as I could, by hand - but I did not add any adhesive glue or Loctite (aka locktite, Loc-Tite).
However, the window slipped out again!
QUESTION:
Is there a lock-nut-style thingey possible? Or do you guys recommend cyanoacrylate glue (or Loctite) on the clamp bolts
