Kombi sliding window - refitting lower rail

[IanWyllie]

My drivers side sliding window has suffered from the age old leaking problem. Unfortunately due to the interior ply lining it went unnoticed until it was too late.
Recently when opening/closing the sliding window the lower guide rail came away from the glass. Rust is clearly visible on the mating face of the rail.
Has anybody successfully reattached this rail to the glass, if so what is the best way of doing so ?

Ian, mine is in a similar state! I was going to use master bond as this used to glue the glass to the door. Have you any pictures of the rail and where it used to attach to the glass?

Hi Halsta, As we didn't open that window very often, in the end i took the lazy option. I applied a bead of bathroom silicon around the outside edge of the sliding glass and fitted it back into place in the window. it's been like this for a few months and appears very secure
