Heat accelerates this and that is why the warranty only applies to southern states. Once the glue lets go there is no permanent fix. anything used on the same top will produce the same result. The only real fix is to replace the top.
( Now, does anybody want a tube of glue?)
I had intended to remove the top so I could remove all the old glue and make a good seal, but after to talking to an expert (someone who knows more than me.) I have decided this would be a waste of time. I will now start shopping for a new top. When I find one, look out George, here I come.
