Convertible Vehicles - Rear window ready to fall out

The rear window in my trans am 2000 is unglued on to and bottom. It's only holding by the sides. I need to take it to a profecional for repair.

So is it worth repairing a 10 year old roof or should I replace the whole thing.

That depends on the condition of the material. Professional will go
for replacement. Repair is not hard if you have any cleaning skills
and patience and a tube of polyurethane windshield adhesive. And
if you're ready to dollar down for a new top anyway, you may as
well try.

Where can I buy this polyethylene adhesive. Is there a write up on how to do this?

What do I use to clean the material before I glue it.

Thanks

3M Window Weld, available at most auto parts stores. It's applied like caulk. It's a thick black adhesive. I've used it to reglue parts where my rear window was separating. So far, so good.

Is there a procedure to prepare the window and fabric before applying glue. Was the roof in open or closed position.

Thank you

Just picked up the 3m product will try to glue the rear window over the weekend

Let us know. I need to do this myself. i would suggest the following, as a guess (again, I have NOT done this yet):

Clean, clean, clean. the cleaner, the better adhesion
let dry over night if cleaning got the material wet/saturated
tape off areas nearby to protect from spillage/extra coming out
get a 2nd person to help folding the material back while you apply
let it dry throughly

Bought 3m double sided automotive tape. It's 1/2 inch wide and very strong. Applied to window and top. Took about 15 min to apply ( I cleaned the window with alcohol for about an hour). Let you know if it holds

If it dousnt then I will try the 3m window weld I also bought. But that's a much more messy job I'm more afraid to do.

just dropped off the car to get this done ''professionally" since im short changed on time.
Will keep you guys updated on material they used and longevity.

The tape is holding strong so far. Turned put to be easy and cheap fix. Cost only $10.

I wonder if it would be cheaper to have top work done during the Winter since coverts are more of a seasonal thing; does that make sense to you guys? Something on the line of how Winter and Summer clothes are cheaper during their off season ;)

I don't think weather makes a difference. Shop around every one has different prices

Seasonal prices-
Paint /body shops may charge more since they know people want to spruce up their cars. Shops that have slow business may charge slightly less but def won't be a 25% + discounts.
