the top gets pulled very tight at the rear, that plus the Florida heat causes the splits. i just replaced mine because it split at the passenger side. it's very important you avoid water from leaking into the car.

Yes, same thing happened to mine. I used Goop adhesive it doesn't look bad but not great either, its been holding for a couple of months here in Florida. Used it sparingly had some squeeze out but let it dry then cleaned off the excess with an exacto knife. The goop is clear so I touched up what was visible with a black magic marker. I'll baby it as long as I can before I replace it, already had to glue the window back in.
