Default 2000 GT Vert rear window shakes at 70mph after install

Long story short, rear window was sagging and inevitably broke and shattered

quoted 700 to repair i said hell no, bought a 100 dollar rear GLASS window replacement and installed it myself (this is the whole piece set, comes with glass window and the sailcloth material)

now over speeds of 65-70mph my rear window rattles like hell and am scared that it will fly off and hit a car behind me. stock window never rattle even when it was falling apart.



could my install be a little too loose?
this is my diagnosis,
but when i installed it i pulled as hard as i could to line it up and make it a tight fit

the install was a bit off i will post pictures when i can to explain what i mean (i followed the guide on the replacement cloth and it didn't line up so i have too much slack on the side rails)


My main concern is that do you think the window will eventually fly off and crash into another car because it almost violently shakes and rattles?

I did not use epoxy but i used like 1000 staples though to secure everything
this is my biggest fear. the sound is annoying but i just dont want to cause an accident. i'm tired of puttting the convertible down to feel safer because it's getting 104 degrees here in california


THANK YOU ALL
i searched other posts but there was no solutions, there was like only 1 other post about it and they just said "its a convertible it's supposed to do that"

Mine does that and it's the original top although I don't think it has always done it. I assumed it was because the top is old and needs to be replaced.
