Default Re: Roadster rear window problem solved?

Our 2005 rear window showed signs of coming loose last week. I did this myself, but it took at least 10 hours. The hardest part, as was noted on this forum, is putting the window weld on correctly. I had to apply some afterward because I was looking for perfection. This part is difficult to explain, but I used a very small tool that I found in my specialty drawer that had one end looking like a miniaturized spoon. After I applied the window weld and ran the spoon between the top and the window, it followed the small tiny fabric creases on the top and created what looks like a perfect mig weld in between! It really looked cool, but I had to make my vertical cut down through it to have a perfect, black width between the top and the window. Bottom line, this is probably not a DYI project for most. But it's one of those projects, that if you do, you can look at at the end result and be proud, you did it and save a lot of dollars doing it!
