Convertible Top/Glass Seperation

Convertible Top/Glass Seperation
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.

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.
