Window comes off the mounting sections

On my 98 expedition I went to roll the pass. rear window down and it went down about 3 inches and that was it. I heard a sound when it stopped so not wanting to break anything, I took the door skin off and could see the window was not connected to the piece ( not sure what it is called). What is the best way to connect them back and is there anything i can do to prevent another seperation.

Same thing happend to me on my 98 navi, I cleaned the bottom rail where the window rest's with a wire brush and glued the window to the rail it rests on. I think thats the way window installers do it. Havnt had a problem with it in 2 years or so.

Door glass is adhered to their channels with 'glass tape' .. available at any autoglass shop.

Question window-regulator mounting

My Ford reapir CD shows 2 bolts/ nuts for the 98 Expy. Is the glass taped into the regulator on the newer Expys?

I used silicone caulk on mine. Leave the window in the up position for 24 hours before using to allow it to dry.
