Default Re: Roadster Rear window problem.

I just bought an 05 rag top and live in FL. Car is garaged at night but wife drives it to work. I was looking at the rear window the other night and had a thought........The window is glued to the inside of the top. Looking at the outside there is a 1/8 to 1/4 inch of overlap of top material around the window. If you carefully applied a thin layer of silicone between the glass and top in that gap it would seal the rain and other elements out. I have to think that it would also be like glueing the window to the top from the out side too. To an extent. Silicone sticks to everything!

My reasoning is if water is getting in there (and I'm sure it does) it will find a way to get where it shouldnt be. I know wet and high heat will destroy any kind of adhesive with time. And we have lots of rain and plenty of heat this time of year in FL.

I will try this. It can't hurt anything. I don't think?
