Default rear window separation

So, I have a 2011 GT and while sitting in the sun today the rear window separated from the lower portion of the top. I know I am going to have to replace the top but I am curious as to which would be the top to replace it with.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue with my car. Below is the best I have found. Someone also suggested I use the 9768 tape by 3m. If your top is in good condition, this is not a difficult fix I would not replace it as they are very expensive plus installation

Cheers

Convertible tops slowly gradually shrink. The bond at the glass to convertible topping ages and all of them slowly separate.

In the convertible top industry, doing a DIY repair to re-attach the glass is thought to be at best temporary. Sometimes the bond that you have made will separate again the first time that you put the top down. Other people maybe get three months of use before the topping pulls away again. Some might even get a year, but it is temporary. You WILL have to replace the top.

Here's to hoping you are able to put it off awhile.
