Who has the longest lasting rear window repair? After 11 years mine finally came loose. I was parked and came out to find only about 24 " along the top edge still attached Thank goodness for that because it made it a lot easier to attach and align. I did the repair according to the sticky and overall it went great. The only two things I did different was to leave the masking tape on until I set the sealant, scrapped it off while still soft and pealed off the masking leaving a nice edge. I didn't have to scrape off the excess after it hardened. I was wondering though, from those who did this earlier, what the long term results have been, so far.
Since it's lonely in this thread.. Did mine over a year ago.. I know I had read during my research on here there was one pushing 3 years.. and that was a year ago.. LOL.
My rear window fell out/detached from the convertible top back in 2010 or 2011. I didn't even bother trying to go through Chrysler. A buddy and I carefully cleaned off the factory adhesive from the glass as well as the top and then resecured the glass with a 3M caulk/adhesive. It turned out great once I got the excess adhesive cleaned up. The car is almost always garaged but has been exposed to some hot summer days and countless up/down top cycles without any further issues.

Gorilla tape is also good to keep the inner front fender spotlight doors shut, you can hardly see it.
One of mine came open and the tire wore the corner off it, hides that too.
The replacement doors were cheap enough from NW but packing and shipping was too much.
