Instead of glue, you need to repair the latch using the correct method:
1. Identify the problem: Is the latch broken? Is the mounting point damaged? Is the problem with the latch mechanism itself or its attachment to the vehicle? A thorough inspection is crucial.
2. Obtain the correct replacement parts: If the latch is broken, you'll need a new one. Go to a Ford dealer or a reputable auto parts store with your vehicle's VIN to ensure you get the correct replacement part.
3. Repair or replace the mounting point: If the mounting point on the car is damaged, this will need to be repaired before installing the new latch. This might involve welding, using body filler, or other methods depending on the extent of the damage. This is likely beyond a DIY repair and might require a professional body shop.
4. Professional installation: Unless you have significant automotive experience, do not attempt to install the rear window latch yourself. It's a precision job that requires the correct tools and expertise to ensure it's properly secured and functions correctly. Incorrect installation can lead to serious safety hazards.
In short: Take your Ford Escape to a qualified mechanic or body shop for repair of the rear window latch. Attempting a glue-based repair is extremely unsafe and ineffective.
