Cool Convertible top seam separating

The drivers side seam on my convertible top is separating. See lots of products on amazon, but someone has a sure-fire product that works? AND apply with the top in the latched position or released? Thanks!!

New top. Cost will be between $500 and $600 shipped, you have a choice of colors.
This can be a DIY with simple hand tools and patience.
( also lifetime warranty on window separation )

to review the site :
Crossfire | Chrysler Hoods | Cabriolet Hoods

but contact Crystal about the group buy, will be considerably less expensive .

I don't need a new top, just what kind of glue/sealant works best for the seam that has separated about an inch.

OK. I know of no cure for the seam separation.
Inspect your window bond real well too.
( I still think you need to put on a new top, you will probably have to remove your current top to have it re-sewn anyway )

You could probably use the same glue that is used to repair rear windows that fall out. Just do a search!
