Hello Everyone,

I have a 2000 base model and the previous owner changed the top to the newer style w/ a rear glass window. (maybe 4-5 years old)... I came outside a very hot and sunny day to find the rear glass completely unglued and fell off.

I do all my own work, so I started my Youtube research to find multiple people using the 3M Window Weld (w/ the prime) and suction cups to hold the glass in place. I was going / this option, BUT I decided to call two interior shops. The replies... 1st) "We need to change the whole top" 2nd) "Requires a special glue and then I put an additional layer of silicone $500 for the job...now they have me questioning my decision.

I'm curious what everyone else has done and the success.

Thanks for the help!
