This is the best thread out there. It shows how to refasten the window

Get the Rhinoglue. I used it last year about this time and never needed to fix it again. I didn't use the suction cup method; just put a line on it and hold together for few seconds. Remember not to get it on the outer fabric because it will make it white.

Good Luck with those fix - it attempts. I ended up having to replace the whole top.
