Love this. Right on, it’s exactly what happened to me and I got it fixed.

Great video! I’ve been battling same issue in exactly the same mustang and color you have for 3 yrs. now. I’ve tried various apoxy’s and they all failed. I just saw this and can’t wait to try it. Thanks for your idea.

Been having this problem for a while, I actually used 3m tape for a couple months and it worked but when driving in the rain the wind pressure pulled it up again and my back seats kept getting wet. I gonna try this now to see it it works any better 👌🏻

​@sbond1963 it worked fine. The back window was completely sealed. However, I ended up replacing the entire top and liner because someone cut the top.

How did the repair hold up? I was thinking about a similar fix using E6000 industrial adhesive.

I been having this problem so long with my mustang also the back has came unattached now car been leaking for a while now gotta get it fixed asap

So i only reglued what was loose, if yours is like mine and partially still attached then do what i did. If its completely off, reseal everything but i cant giarantee thatd hold as well! And make sure to keep pressure like i did, it needs to bond tightly. Good luck!

I'm also curious how you fixed the small side window leak.

Following this same issue on a 2000 Mustang convertible. Incredible how time goes by and same problems happens.....

I have this problem. The top has separated from the glass. I always have to cover it when it rains if I don’t the water goes down the back window. When you open the top it pools down under the seat like your problem lol. A new top is $1500. Maybe I will try this. Wouldn’t be so bad if the water drained out but it doesn’t.

@@jamesa6272 Same thing on my 2000 Mustang, but weathersrtipping is not old at all, so need to figure another solution.

My top on 06 convertible was fine until I started using F11 Topcoat and I did back window and some spray got on edges of convertible top where it seals against the back window and within 24hrs the whole thing turned loose. Nothing against the product, I just wasn’t thinking like usual especially about anything like that even being possible, so anyone who uses those nanotechnology car polishes just be careful where you use it. I’m not saying that you should go as far as actually reading the instructions or nothing. Just a friendly warning to hopefully keep someone else from making the same mistake as I did.

What state are you from? I have the same problem but the glue keeps melting due to the heat.

If you can replace the top and order it yourself. $300- $500 depending on glass or plastic window I’m not tech savvy. - so will try this remedy first.

The window is falling in and there isnt enough slack on the top with it lifted to get the clamps on, this doesn't work for me and i want to bash my head through a wall

Damn im sorry to hear that man, but dont lose hope! What year car is yours? And is there any roof opening position that allows you to clamp down? If not, you might just have to resory to resting heavy stuff on it. Try to jerry rig it as much as you can, but if its truly impossiblr you might have to resort to a pro job.

From a pro upholstery guy, when that happens get a new top. It’s a rot issue and that is happening to every heat seal on the top. The top is shrinking and causing these issues. Looks awful.
