Vert window coming out
My "98" c5 rear convertible window is starting to separate from the top on the passenger side. Dealer says the only fix is a new top.
Anyone had this happen and what would be the suggested fix?
thanks

One member posted that he'd fixed the problem by running a bead of Perfect Glue 2 (from Home Depot) along where it was separating and then pressing it together with rolls of paper.
Apparently it worked.

My black top did the same thing. I figured the heat from the sun did it. So I did a temporary fix with weatherstrip adhesive and ordered a new top. Took advantage of the situation to change to a biege top. My car is torch red and I'm happy with the end result. Also, it stays much cooler in the hot Washington, D.C. summers.
