[SEL] OT - thanks to list for VW bolts etc.

[ALLEN JEFFREY]

Bill,

Guy at the glass shop sold me windshield glue and it works great. Pulled the 
channel out and cleaned it. Left the window in the door, but it has to be 
cleaned also. Put a bead in the channel, install it on the lift mechanism 
and set the window on it. Roll it up and leave it for a day or two.

Jeff
