Doug, I also have a vert. Although I have not had a problem yet with my window (, prior CF discussions on what glue to use recommended RHINO ULTRA. I bought some just in case my window starts separating. There are several methods explained in CF post that others have used to reattached the window.

The glass came loose from the top of my 2002 Chrysler convertible a few years ago. I used Rhino glue to put it back in and I have not had any problems with it since. It works well.
