I usually take all my passenger coaches and cabooses apart and use clear plastic from food containers and use that for my window glazing. I usually use super glue and try not to get it on the clear plastic ’cause it will make unsightly clouding of the plastic. I’ve heard of the canopy glue as suggested by Richard, but I haven’t tried it yet. I try to get by on a shoestring budget so I use what I have on hand. Sometimes when using super glue I end up having to do it twice because I wasn’t careful enough using it.

I did not like the Clearfix. But my wife (good RRer) Said we have used the clear page protectors from the stationary store, & there is an opaque side as well, these are good
for washroom windows.

As Robert Moore has suggested try the Humbrol Clear Fix. You could also try microscope slide glass, available in various thicknesses and usually about 250 plates per box. There is a video on YouTube somewhere about using these. If you use this last method, be aware the plates are easily broken and very small splinters.Please don’t use ‘super glue’ as the glass will bloom at the edges.

It is water-based, dries clear, and has good Adhesive qualities. One advantage is any excess can be wiped away with a damp cotton bud (Q-tip). You should be able to find in a local hobby store.

Micro Mark have a clear liquid that works well. Be aware that most “plastic glues” will cloud styrene. I suggest using a water based poly clear (estapol) or Johnston’s Clear, a hard setting acrylic floor polish. Clear has a number of cool “hacks” for model builders, although I understand there has been a name change so ask the shop assistant.

Cut the plastic to size and glue it on the inside of the car.
Simple == easy=== and not expensive

I must admit I have not used it yet.
I hope it works, but am only trying to fix loose windows.
