Default convertible top repair

The rear glass is seperating from the top on my 95. No damage, its just coming apart. Calls to top shops say they haven't heard of that before and say there is no repair. Anyone have this problem? I bought some epoxy to try, but thought I would wait to here from someone on the forum.

Wel I just replaced the whole top on my car not long ago ... I'd see if contact cement isn't a better solution than epoxy ... since thats what all top installers use and also what I used to replace it.


Maybe cement the wintow to the vinyle where it can't be seen would work ....rubber contact cement for sure bonds awesome... hope this helps!

My '95 did exactly the same thing last year. I used 3m double sided tape, it worked perfectly.
