Why don't you try upholstery shop, that's what they do for living, and don't let them talk you they can only replace the top.
There must be several in your area, to check with, and get EST.
When I had my C4, I was lucky cause I ran service department for Lincoln, and called the shop we send out stuff out for repairs, they charged me, but reasonable. That window lasted for decades.

I just did this repair with my own acrylic top. I used Hot Rod Roy’s post as well to do it. I used 3M Window Weld after cleaning the frame and glass and several C clamps to compress it while drying

I followed the procedure from Hot Rod Roy and used the betaseal urethane adhesive. It has worked well and correctly for several years. It wasn't as easy to buy as other stuff, but I wanted to be sure I got the right adhesive.
