Mine started to come apart on the bottom. I used black silicone and its held up for the past 6 months.

Now if only I can get the defroster tab to stay put!!!

Best to do it with the top on so it lines up correctly.

You can solder that tab on for the defroster.

Mine has a 3/8" gap between the glass and the fabric on the driver side. The window and the fabric below it appear to be one unit/section of the top. What is the procedure for glueing the window? How do you guys clamp the top and the window while the glue dries?
