conv top question
The rear window on my 98 conv top seems to be coming unattached to the top. Has anyone has this problem and is there a particular adhesive I can use to reattach and seal it? Thanks!

Its been reported before. One member posted that he has used Perfect Glue 2 from Home Depot and another used JB Liquid Weld. Both said it worked well initially but never reported how durable the fix was.
Best of luck.

In my area, Baltimore, a new OEM top installed is approx. $1,200.00

The glue that was mentioned in a previous post from Home Depot worked for about 3 weeks and slowly started coming apart.
Husband suggested this morning to take it somewhere to have it fixed. I think he's in for a shock when he finds out that we will have to replace it all together.
