Coach door plexiglass came loose and was flapping on the highway. It was removed and reglued with acrylic (?) glue by a glass shop. That later failed and the plexiglass fully detatched and fell out on a short trip. I was unable to relocate it. Safety glass was then made to fit and again glued, which has now held for over a year.
