Whats up fellas,
I just noticed that the rear glass of my drop top right where the glass sticks to the surface on both sides of the vinil top has a gap, and water is getting in. what is the best way to fix this? I have tried hot glue sticks and nothing.

I also used some RTV gasket maker, it was ok, but kind of messy.

when i replaced my top like 3 months ago i was told you cant reuse the window
it comes with skirt sealed from factory
i was mad also
so i did it new black top new skirt and new rear window
all installed for 700
which was better than most quotes of 1000
unless every top place lied to me to get me to buy new window they all said i couldnt reuse the window.
