Default Re: Roadster rear window problem solved?

Hopefully I can do it right before our trip to Ireland so it will have plenty of time to set up.
I did a complete rear window repair using the 3M window weld and the recommended primer. I even purchased special deep throat C-clamps to secure the window while the adhesive cured. The rear window is back in place and sealed perfectly. Everything has been fine for several months and through several top up and down cycles. I don't anticipate any future issues. I don't think I would try to do this again as it was a VERY messy job and required about 15 hours of work + the expense of the adhesive, primer and tools. It is possible to reseal the rear window however . . . just sayin' . . .

required two of these . . .
