Looked into the Warranty...If car was sold in Florida, you may have a chance. A member recommended a Loctite adhesive product, but I could not find it except by ordering it by the case.
So I tried a Loctite PL Pro line, 3X stronger, Premium Construction Adhesive that I got at Home Depot for $6. I undid the Roof front latch to loosen the top, and put lots of towels under the window to keep
the window glass tight against the top. Since the glass was still attached to the top at the very top, positioning was not an issue. I then ran a 1/4 inch bead all around between the window and top....I DID NOT TRY AND CLEAN THE ORIGINAL black ADHESIVE OFF...THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT MAKE A BETTER GRIP TO THE new ADHESIVE. I put some 2x4 lumber pieces across the glued areas with brick weights on top to keep it tight. Gave it 24 hours and took everything off. used a box cutter to cut off any overflow adhesive and a black permanent marker pen to color the adhesive. (you might be able to get it in black). The top has not loosened from the window where it was for glued for 2 years...However the originally still attached part of the window at the top finally let go, so I glued that and it has been holding at speed and high temp for 6 months.
Thnx for sharing your repair, hope it continues to hold. NHTSA (safercar.gov) IS going to take a closer look at this. Previously, they said it "does not pose an unreasonable risk to safety". "It ain't over till its over", but the clock keeps ticking.
