Default roof panel

The glass corner of my roof panel vibrates in the wind. Is there a special glue to use to adhere it?

There are a lot of threads on this forum about repairing targa tops. Use "search this thread" in the red banner for targa top repairs.

Interesting... if you go to the red banner to "Search this thread" and type "targa top repairs" -- guess what? The only item that you get in response is Ben's message above! You really need to go to the red banner at the top that is labelled "Search" to find them! You will likely get more info than you want. It is often difficult to limit searches as much as you would like. You might want to look at the video clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT6Ow_cBTps for a better understanding but it is not really "glue" as we normally think of glue and it is important to realize this. You can also do a google search for acrylic cement to get more info. It actually takes only a very small amount of material as it moves into the joint through capillary action.

In this case you're not gluing acrylic to acrylic. The acrylic top is glued to a metal frame.
