Default 82 T-top Problem!!

I noticed my T-top frame and glass is seperating..Is there a specific glue or sealant I can use to fix this?

I thought about using regular windshield sealant but not sure if this would work...

Any thoughts or suggestions on what to use would be great!!

I used a 3M windshield adhesive for the same problem and, other than a slight mess in application, it has worked fine for me.

If you do use what you are thinking...make sure you also use the special cleaners/primers so the stuff will stick. Just pumping it in there is basically "shooting blind" and it may not adhere as well as you think...or last as long as you may like. But what the heck...you can give it a try...because a broken analog clock is correct at least twice a day.

Thanks for the info...

where did u get the 3m adhesive from?

Ill take a little application mess over the mess I almost made when I looked up n saw day light (while i was driving of course) where there wasnt supposed to be any day light....those collector edition t tops get a little pricey if u can find them...
