Where is Townville located? I am in Danville, just off Rte 80 in east central Pa. I used to help out with Danvilles' athletic teams and in doing so always went to State Wrestling and State Track and Field events, Townville doesn't ring any bells. It may just be that my bells haven't rung for many years! LOL

Congrats on your recent purchase and welcome to Our Forum. Might be interesting to other XFire Roadster owners to learn your process for repairing the top window glass.

Later,

Later,
I released the front of the windshield and pushed it up like I was going to put the top down. Then we used a razor blade to scrape all the old glue from glass. Then my nephew used a cleaner used by Safelite to clean the surface. Then he used a primer before the urethane was applied in the area where the top contacted the glass. We allowed the repair to cure overnight before re-latching the top in front. I have put over 1,000 miles on with the top both up and down and the repair is holding great.
