Replacement rear soft window plastic fastener?

[mdk77]

The right long fastener on my rear soft window cracked. This is the piece that the side window seeds into - the channel is cracked. Is it possible to replace that channel only or does the entire window need replaced?

Ouch, that’s a frustrating spot to crack.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that on almost all of these soft tops, that plastic retainer channel is permanently bonded/molded to the window panel itself. The manufacturer doesn't sell just the plastic track separately, so the official fix is replacing the entire window panel.

tip: If your rig is relatively new, definitely check with your dealer first to see if it’s covered under your bumper-to-bumper warranty . Good luck!

I believe it is ABS plastic. There is an ABS solvent cement. It’s water thin and applied with a syringe needle style plastic bottle. Hold the two halves together and let the solvent flow into gap. Hold for a minute. Good as new.
