Hello!

I'm working on an 87 vert and one of the rear quarter window carriers is loose. I was able to get it off the glass and cleaned out, but not too sure what to use to reattach it. Are you supposed to use Butyl tape? If so, what size?

Thank you!!

Of you are talking about the weatherstrip that goes in the channel at the back of the quarter window then you need weatherstrip adhesive ( the black stuff ). Black silicone will also work.

3m weatherstrip adhesive. wear gloves as that crap manages to get all over you fingers. Apply it to both surfaces and let it tack up for a few minutes

If you are talking about the chrome glass channel you need to use liquid butyl rubber
Otherwise the above posts are correct about gluing the weatherstrip
