Unhappy 03 conv. top leak

I think I have done about everything with a the top i thought it was where the glass window was coming undone but I superglued and used silcone and fount out where it was really coming from. It comes from where the top meets the car back right and left(down from the window area) I don't know where to go from here.... HELP!

Private message a guy on here named Sinister99GT. He owns an upholstery shop in Florida and always has good advice on what to do with your convertible top.

If I'm reading what you're saying correctly you are having a leak around the vinyl that surrounds the rear window? I think what he'll tell you is that the seal is starting to give and it has to be resewn/hot glued. And not like your mom's craftgun hot glue, but some special hot silicone adhesive or something that professionals use.

In that case it's usually just as cost friendly to have them stitch in a whole new rear window. You're probably looking at around $250-$400.
