I'm looking for a glue to reseal the window to the convertible top, It has separated all along the bottom of the window.. anyone know of a good glue that will hold?

I doubt any glue will work. The original was a thermal bond between the rear curtain material and the glass. I could be wrong, but it’s likely time for a replacement.

I had a small rip (1") in the convertible top (about 30 years old now) of my '69 4-4-2. I used a dab of the product called "Flex Seal" to close it up and it has worked nicely for the last 4 years. I know Flex Seal comes in different colors - my top is black and it was easy to find Flex Seal in black. I'm not sure but it might come in white as well. Might be worth a try short of getting a new top. I think it's available in in different applicator forms at Home Depot and I've seen it at our local Kroger store as well.

It may be possible to glue it back (at least temporarily) using 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. Make sure the areas are very clean and follow the directions on the label.

I've never seen the ad with the pick-up submarine, as well as some of the other ads. Now those are good!

As a last resort, I have used Shoe Goop on a needy top seam, and it worked, still is working. You have to let it set up for at least a couple of days, stuff is tough when completely dry. Don't make a mess, or you will be looking it for a long time...Tedd

Good suggestion on the Shoe Goo. I use that stuff on a lot of things and it is very durable. It comes in clear and black.

I would probably use 3m window weld. That stuff bonds to just about anything with the strength of Thor. Just don’t get it on anything because you can not clean it up. You’ll have black hands for at least two weeks.

3M 5200 Marine Sealant pretty tough stuff comes in white and needs to be cured for a long time... could you some how clamp together???
