Propaneking

I've got a slight seperation starting with the back glass and the convertible top. Glass has pulled away from the bottom corners outside edges on the outside of the top. Any technique anyone has found to re glue the top to the window? I'm thinking an epoxy, don't think silicone would be strong enough.

I hate to say it but I have been down that road and did not find anything that worked, the only cure is a new top, bummer news. Good luck I hope you find something

Krazy glue and start saving for a new top.

You can't fix it, but if the rest of the top is really good, you can change just the rear window. The prob is it's a ton of labor and better to do the top + window at the same time.

I would try contact cement and like these guys said, start saving for a new top.

It is possible to reglue a glass window in a convertible top. I have done it. Mine does not leak.

The preferred glue is 3M Windo-Weld #08609. Also use 3M Single Step Primer #08682 on the glass. I got both at Napa.

You will need to prop up/support the window - I cut some 2x4s and put padding on the ends - and tape the window to the top after you apply the glue - I used blue masking tape.

The Windo-Weld can make a mess, so I masked off the glass and top. It is black and sticky.

There are instructions online in various places. Here is an example. Good luck.

Update - After 2 years, I have a slight separation between the Windo-Weld and the glass in one lower corner on the outside. I am attempting to rebond the glass to the Widow-Weld with superglue.

The Windo-Weld cures to a flexible plastic/rubber - almost like a molded part. IMOP it does not stick to glass very well - not to hard to pull it off.

The inside separated in both lower corners. I reglued it with E6000 - an automotive/industrial version of Goop. This stuff is way stickier than Windo-Weld and seems to work better on the inside.

I have used windo weld by 3m and seems to work great
