86 Coupe Glass Top Coming Apart
Does anyone know if you can reglue the plexi glass top back together? Mine has come apart in the front from side window to side window. I have tried Silicone and should have known it wouldn't work. Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks

A c4 is gonna' flex, and some of that flex is gonna' be in the top.
I think silicone will seal just fine, if the frame is completely removed from the glass lip, and IT IS CLEAN. I think also if you use epoxy, you won't get flex, and if you take a driveway at an angle, you could snap the top.

Same thing happened to a c4 i owned. Took it to a glass shop and they reglued it with the same bonding material originally used. I can't remember what it was but it can only be applied with a pressure gun.

I tried Silicone. Did not work. I went to Binswanger Glass Company and was told there was nothing they could do and did not know anyone that could. Anyone know where to get another top?
