What do you think of this? waste of time or worth a shot?

Been there, did the fix myself with a kit. It is a lot of work, much more than I had anticipated. I would recommend you find a shop willing to stitch in a new window with the canvas still on the frame. The entire convertible top (canvas & frame) is surprisingly easy to remove. Most shops want to remove the canvas from the frame, that is where it gets expensive.

If your on Renntech I sort-of took over another thread about a top, there are a couple pics there as well as some discussion of the process:

I used a clear silicone caulking as a temp fix till it got too bad and ghetto looking.
