Rhino Glue Worked Like a Charm!
Thanks to those replies for the advice on using the Rhino glue on the back glass on my 99 vert. Had a small area of detached glass and I was really surprised at how well the Rhino glue technique worked.
On to the rocking seat issue next.
Wish a new owner luck.

I too have a convertible, but no issues with the back glass yet. I did however just fix my rocking seats and wow, what a difference. I guess I had just gotten so used to it, it was weird not to move last night on my first drive since fixing them. If you follow the tutorial you will have no problem. What I found to be the best advice was to make sure the seat was raised to it's highest position. This allowed easier access to one of the bolts that needs to come out. Good luck!

I MORE than agree
I used pillows in front of window on the ledge, suction cups with cords rigged through the rafters and ir sure worked!! No issues since. Have found a zillion uses for this glue since.

Rhino Glue
Anybody with a vert should just go ahead and go to the website for Rhino glue and have it on hand. It's not a question of if it comes loose but when. I washed mine, let it dry good,went for a ride and when I put it back up it had popped loose, no warning at all. It cost about $15 with the tool kit. Like the man said you will find a million uses for this stuff even if your top does not break loose. I also used the suction cups and pillows. Worked like a charm.

I would not fully remove the window it will be a pain in the *** to line back up. Glue the loose part first then work the rest loose and go all the way around the window. I did mine a few months ago still holding great.be sure Ty clean glass and top good with alcohol before glueing.

The tool kit of different tips that come with the rhino Glue made it easy to apply to just the area I needed. As mine was only partially detached, it was an easy fix. Took all of a few minutes. Results are amazing.
Good luck.

Did mine about a year ago. It had fully detached. Roughed up the sealing surface with some 400 grit sandpaper and glued a section at a time with an extra set of hands and some whisky. 
There were only 2 small wrinkles in the top, but that beat the snot out of replacing it.
Holding up so far, but I wash gently and drive with windows up if the top is up to cut down on wind buffeting. I wouldn't try driving through a car wash (not that anybody would...)
