Rear window - convertible

While washing my '97 Z28 convertible today, I noticed the rear window has separated from the top fabric all along the bottom of the window.
Can anyone recommend a method to repair this?
Thanks

Re: Rear window - convertible

I used weatherstrip adhesive to glue mine. Be careful it can make a mess. It will hold for a while but you will have to redo it every few months. What happens is the fabric shrinks after a while and pulls down until the glue lets go.
I eventually had to replace the top.

Cool Re: Rear window - convertible

Hi,
Mine came loose at the top. I guess the glue job is the same.
I did notice it is a plastic that glues to the glass not the nylon top material.
Is there anything newer than the weather stripping glue?
