window install help needed

I got my glas for the side windows today and put them on using the tape;extremely loose wouldn't stay on. What do you recommend using to hold the glass in the window lifts.
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you need either thicker tape, thicker glass, or to adjust the channel tighter. I'd start with thicker tape. I'd also run the whole mess down to the local glass shop so they can see what you need and hopefully they'll have the magic stuff to make it work.

A glass shop is great advice! They would definitely have what you needed. I'd just have them install the tracks. The tape needs to hold the window tight in the track. It takes some good raps with a deadblow to seat the track onto the glass edge when the tape is of proper thickness.
