    Searched but couldn't find anything.

    The metal clasp that closes the passenger side wing window on my Daytona fell off. Can anyone suggest the right glue to reinstall it? Thanks.

    Terrible design. Originally they used crazy glue. Here's what you do:

    Jim is right.
    Whatever you do, do not try to "bolt" the clasp thru the window.
    I once watched someone try to drill a hole thru a Daytona wing-window so that they could attach the inner clasp with a finished bolt from the outside.
    Drilling with a diamond bit under water, they got about half way thru the glass when it shattered, because the glass is tempered.
