Default Need help with convertible top rear window.

Actually it is a friends car but his window fell out. Is there any type of kit to repairing this. Everybody is telling him he needs to replace the top. I think the window is put in from the factory with some type of heta seal but there must be a way to repair this via aftermarket without having to replace the entire top?

Have any of you had this issue with your back window?

How did you repair it?

Thanks in advance.

Do a search, several members have had a similar problem. I believe some have used JB Weld, windshield sealant, and others have used super glue. All have worked to a certain degree. Basically you can just glue it back in with the strongest bonding agent you can find.
