Post a pic of where exactly it has come loose. Also read Mike Focke's tutorial on replacing tops. You'll probably find the fix can be done either with outdoor quality two-sided tape or contact cement.

3M adhesive

if it's the adhesive then Contact cement spray adhesive (3M™ Yellow Super Trim Adhesive 08090) will work
