There's a specific 3M double-side tape to be used here. I did this repair on mine a few years ago and it's held perfectly. It's the same type as used in the factory. I'll try to find the product ID for you.

Did you have to take it apart, remove the rubber, to apply the tape?

I believe that I did, yes. Used a plastic trim tool to aid reinsertion of the seals.

In my case, I decided to replace the entire top, since it was 20 years old and was showing overall general signs of "old age". That rear glue seam along with a couple of areas indicated it was just wearing out. $1,700 later all is great.

Can you describe this tool for me and maybe provide a picture?
