(yet another) rear glass re-attaching thread -- looking for step-by-step advice

[tonythetiger]

if everything is there, I would seek advice from a pro shop that specializes in convertibles and has a great reputation. the advice alone would be worth it and they will probably be able to fix this with the right products for a modest fee.

Unfortunately, I live in Austin, which means everything costs 3x what it might in, say, Pittsburgh or Boise or even San Antonio.

Lowest quote I got on ATX was $350 just to reattach glass, can buy a whole new aftermarket top for like $500-600, right?

Ordered 3M VHB (very high bond tape), primer for glass and sealer for the cloth (as cloth wraps over the frame and the glass actually attaches to the cloth wrapped around the frame).

Will report back on how it goes.
