When It Rains

It Is unfortunate that the bead of adhesive is so narrow. A good deal of the ability to resist the torque of the hinges is lost because of the shape of the bead path. If the same amount of adhesive was used say in a zizag pattern the resistance to peeling would be dramatically improved.
I bond stuff all the time and when this under-application of adhesive happens it is usually because I hate to clean up squeezed out product, and possibly to save time & cost.
I believe that with the right product and very good cleaning it should be possible to repair. Loctite make some excellent metal to glass two part adhesives…
