i've got a small crack in my window 1-2mm from the edge/seam where the plastic meets the window.

does that loctite stuf dry CLEAR?

is the loctite stuff better than the silicone caulking idea? both sound like good ideas for a temporary fix. my tear is so small - maybe an inch long at most...I'd rather fix it this way, and then wait until I "have" to fix the window - as the rest of my window is pliable and clear looking.... once it totally goes bad, I can see springing the money for a new upgraded GAAH top or something, but for now, i'd be happy to just "ghetto" fix it as long as it doesn't look tacky. my crack is small and given the lcoation, this idea to DIY might work fine.

my car is not a DD, and when it's out on the road, 99% of the time the top is down anyway..to for now it's more just to keep it from getting any worse and for the rare occasion when I could get trapped in rain.
