Default Rear glass coming off convertible, best adhesive?

Hi all

So like many of us my glass is just starting to separate. Is razoring off the old glue and using 3M Window Weld still best? If so is the primer necessary? It is only a 10 inch area and I have no intention of pulling off all the glass and making this more of a project and I believe making more problems for me. Everything else is holding strong, for now. It is a garage queen rarely out in the rain and never the cold so just that spot should do it. Thanks in advance.

Use the 3M weld AND primer.

And know that the rest of the seams will let go in short order. Been there, glued mine at least four times. Got sick of it. Ordered new top.

I glued this section using 3M window weld and 3M primer and it has held well for 2 years now

I did mine 6 years ago and it is still holding.

Window weld better than the regular adhesive?
