I have a black top and fixed the problem with the Gorilla Glue Super Glue. Last month a member posted pics and had success with this glue so I ordered it online and the day I got it the top was fixed in 10 minutes. The white top should be the same because the sail cloth doesn't touch the window; it has a plastic strip that seals onto the glass.

Thanks for the reply my other thought was since white reflects heat best perhaps heat was an issue.

That would be an interesting study to see who's window fell out and how much exposure to the sun it received vs. one that did not see a lot of sun. I personally think it probably has to do with quality control and there was a bad batch somewhere but have no proof to back it up.

Or those who also drive their vehicles to work and get blasted by these lawnservice people with their 220-250 mph blowers. Not sure the rear windows are designed for greater than hurricane force winds by idiots operating lawn equipment.
