Hard to tell that it was ever fixed (I do good work).
If you go this route be careful spreading the WW08609 around. Its sticky stuff.
How I did it. - Bought the WW08609 from Autozone for around $18 +tax.
- Put the window in a straight up position so there was slack in the canvas.
- Used a razor blade to remove old glue from window.
- Punctured end of WW08609 tube and squeezed the glue out since I don't have one of the fancy guns that this type of tube requires. Also didn't need much. One tube could fix a dozen tops easy. I resealed the tube with plastic wrap for future use if necessary.
- I used a small blade screwdriver to spread the glue onto the glass where it makes contact with the canvas making sure to get into the tight areas where the top and glass are still holding together well.
- Let the glue tack up for a few minutes then put the top UP all of the way to include latching the front latch. This will pull the top and glass tightly together. Carefully press on the repaired areas to ensure a good seal. If you need to support the glass from the inside.
- Now LEAVE IT ALONE! I waited till the next day and used the razor blade to remove the excess glue from the glass.
Looks like new!
Yer welcome!
