1997 Convertable window replacement - 6G Celicas Forums

So I had a cat decide to sleep on my convertible roof, which I'm blaming for the rear window glass to start pulling away from the fabric. It's now at the point that the whole top edge has torn away and it gets worse daily.
Does anyone know if I can re glue the window, or do I have to replace it?
If I have to replace it do I have to replace the whole roof or just the rear window flap?
I'm asking because the local car top companies have given me contradictory answers.

Thanks

you can do all the answers.

better to replace the whole top, but if its not in the budget, then just the rear window.

hey there
3m superblack weatherstrip cement will hold it. I tried 10 different products and none worked. But that one hold about a year then I needed to touch up a small area. By the way it was the cheapest product I tried. Clean the area with a little alchohol and after you get it in there with a syrynge style squirter you will have to clamp it together for about an hour.

I am pretty sure this is the one
