Hi, checking over my Boxster I noticed there was a sort of dip in the rear top / hood underneath the the rear windscreen, the inch or so that's there is dipped so it would hold water. On further inspection I found the adhesive that sticks the hood to the frame had failed and all along the bottom it was unstuck, hence the lack of tautness in the fabric. Can this just be re-glued?

I've been thinking about having the roof replaced anyway, but it's an expense I could do without and the old one could come up nicely with a bit of work, any recommendations for something to get rid of green algae, or any for a new top / hood supplier in the UK?
