I have a similar issue with mine. But only the bottom and a couple of inches on the top have come unglued. Car is going for sale as soon as I figure it out so I am loathe to put a new top on it. The top was put on about five years ago and is glass window.

I'll be interested to see how yours works out!

UPDATE: There is no update. The window primer finally came in yesterday... My brother volunteered to do the job, since I have my hands full working on our LR3 suspension, wheel bearing, and air tank.

I'll provide updates soon.

UPDATE: Yesterday, my brother was able to install the glass window with the 3M Window Weld, primer, and suction cups. We are going to leave the suction cups installed for 2 days to allow the window weld to dry completely.

Fingers crossed no leaks and it stays on.

Unfortunately, I don't know what brand top the previous owner installed.

UPDATE: Glass has been re-installed and so far so good... It looks to be a solid bond w/ no leaks. Time will tell how long this repair will last, but definitely glad that we tried this solution.

Hope this helps someone in the future!
