Rear window issue
The seal has gone on the bottom of the window. The glass is completely seperated from the fabric on the outside and half seperated on the inside. Has anyone had this happen to them? How can I get it fixed? Iwas gonna bring it to this auto glass place near me to see what they think. Hopefully insurance will cover it.

Top does not need to be replaced. Go to Advance Auto
Parts, get the tube of polyurethane windshield adhesive
and glue it back up. Try not to get any on the fabric
because it won't be coming off; some blue masking tape
is your friend. Consider doing the less messed up inside
part first, and the outside the next day so you have
something to press against.
Be sure to clean the glass very well (like Windex followed
by acetone or xylene) and wipe the old glue surface a
few times with the solvent too.
Mine came apart like yours a few months back. All better
now, except I have a couple of glue blobs to razor off
the glass still. At least it's back to watertight.

Thanks for the responses guys I'm gonna give it a go myself with the adhesive but I might not get to it for awhile cuz she's under the covers for the winter. I'm buying a house right now so once I'm in and have it in the garage I'll give it a shot and let you know how I make out.
