Here is what I did about 10 months ago and everything is still holding.


Bought Rhino Ultra Glue and “Universal Vacuum Clamps” (six in a box) on the Internet.


Unlatched the top to loosen the fabric. Supported the top with a piece of PVC piping. Stuffed pillows against the window from the inside.


Removed the old glue stuff from the glass using a glass scraper. Cleaned the fabric and glass with rubbing alcohol and glue remover. Masked the outside fabric as a protection against any glue run off. Glued glass top first using all 6 clamps. Clamps stayed on for 12 hours for each application.


The two sides were done next.


Last was the glass bottom.
