Default Vert rear window question

Has anyone successfully re-glued the rear window back to the canvas top? Mine has been separating and it's getting worse. Can I do this myself or do I have to take it to a convertible top clinic? There is such a place here in Mercer County, but I'd rather attempt it myself. Thoughts?

Default vert top glue

I used cyanoacrylate glue..it is sort of a crazy glue but thicker sold at hobby shops. My rear window fell completely out 2 yrs. ago.. I glued it and no more problems. apply the glue to the inside of the top not the window and press and hold for a minute. takes 2 people and
$5.bucks but it works !!

Thanks guys! Perhaps a couple pairs of strong magnets can be used to hold the surfaces together rather than have two people push against each other.
