@TherightMike I checked Amazon and those clamps come in a set of six. On my mustang, the top is not overall bad condition per se, just the back window won't stay at the top it's sitting about 1/3 the way down. Also the motor for the rear window only works when it wants to. I know this is just a temporary quick fix, eventually I'm gonna have to replace the whole top. I'll let you guys know in here how the repair job goes. Once the stuff gets here from amazon
THANKS👌🏾💎👑! I used a lot of your tips on my daughter’s Saturn Sky. I used the quick bond $9 gorilla tube glue from Oriellys & it WORKS! I cheated and didn’t used the clamps but it bonded quickly and let it set for 24hrs. Very easy, clean no mess and a quick DIY Job…! Saved $$$$ as you mentioned and since they too aren’t available new anymore, custom tops are $3000 and used tops selling for $1500.. I’ll take my chances of fixing it myself every couple of years if necessary! And I’ll use the clamps next time IF there is one…..
2012 A5 Convertible Top Repair Purchased the Clamps & Rhino Glue. Followed instructions. The main thing i found was you have to find the right angle with the top partially retracted to allow perfect placement of the sides, corners, even placement on the bottom. I used folded pillows to prop it perfectly. The clamps are the key, however, i also tightly taped the edges with painters tape in between or following minor touch up. I let it cure 24 hours after setting. then moved to new section. I took my time, 3- days. I can tell you the Rhino Glue rocks. Easily cleans off the glass, apply only a thin layer....it is by far the strongest cleanest, clearest best glue. My top looks brand new. Torrential rain on day 4. No leaks. Warm sunny weather, top down, looks great. Hat tip to the DIY Salvage Guy - saved me a ton of money, time and possible using the wrong things. Cheers
Comments like this make making videos worth it. I'm so happy you were able to have such a success with this. Thanks for for detailed comment and story behind your experience!
Subscribed after watching this. Great video. Just bought an A5 and didn't check for this problem, sure enough it's all coming apart. Before I found this video I was thinking it would be a $2500+ job! Now I bought the supplies and will fix it myself over the weekend. Thank you!
Love to hear this kind of thing. I hope it works for you as well as it did for me. I suggest paint mixing sticks between the clamps to help give more surface area as well. Good luck!
Thanks so much. I only have about 12 inches of my window that has come loose. Went to ask the dealer and they said "Can't be repaired....entire top needs to be replaced". Just ordered this glue and clamps on Amazon!!!! \m/ Thanks my friend!
👌🏾💎🔥It’s been 9 months plus and it’s holding perfect without leaks! I ended up using the Gorilla glue (the one that says fabric in a small tube) over the 3M. It was like $10 at O’Reillys. I used the tape on the windows too. You’re right it’s all about the PREP! Thanks for the DIY tutorial again!!
GOLF TSI 2011. MASSIVE THANK YOU for showing how easy this is to do. I've been struggling for months for someone to glue the top of the roof to to the rear glass window. VW said it might cost up to $5,000 and that definitely is excessive considering it's only 7 centimeters that needs to be glued down. Will try this method this weekend. What fix do you recommend for small wear in the canvas that might spread.
Hi Maddie. This channel is all about everyday people in your exact situation. You can do this! As for the roof, you might be able to get a patch glued on, but generally speaking, it is ripping due to fabric degration. That is the first spot, but won't be the last. I haven't had to address that yet.
Hey is the top still holding a year later & did water come through? I was going to use the 3M windshield glue on my Saturn Sky. But after watching this it appears the RhinoGlue is easier to work with.. & clean! Good job guys!!!

@@DIYSalvageGuy thank you! I just have the far ends beginning to unglue, and my garage guy declined from touching it and I definitely don't want to go to my Audi dealer, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I'm happy I came across your video. So simple and very helpful. ♥️🙏
@@Buckshot96 it wasn’t as simple as it looks. The suctioning cup holders kept coming off and not holding the window. The adhesive is easy to clean off and trim from the outside but the inside wasn’t as easy. Some takeaways, I did do this is the middle of winter but I kept the garage at around 55-60 degrees and that is the minimum temperature. I only had 1 kitties with 6 suction cups. It is water proof now and is definitely better than it was but no where near the professional job this looks to be and I spent 4 days doing this. I have not done this type of work before but we work on Jeeps/cars and anything we can build in my garage. If I had to do it all over again I’d spend $500 to buy a new top to begin with.
@@mikeburris9856 were you doing the whole window? The one I'm looking at is just the very right side of the window so probably a little less than a foot. Thanks for the reply though I appreciate it!
Didn't know about the clamps - they're great. Instead of glue I suggest you use Dinitrol 500 - it's specifically designed to bond automotive glass. Once you know the brand name it's obviously "the right thing to use" (at least in the UK)
I have the clamps and waiting for my order of the 3M product (I had ordered it prior to seeing your video, otherwise I would try the glue. Looks easy. I was wondering what you used, If anything on the inside of the car to temporarily hold the window up? Also, I assume the same process in the seam above the window? I’m not quite sure what to do there. I’m working on my 2002 VW cabrio!
Our project car didn't have too much trouble staying together with the clamps suctioning the window, but you can use anything to prop it up if needed. I'm not sure about the seam, but generally, just keeping it together while the glue dries is all there is to it. Use clamps and some paint stirrers under the clamps for more surface area.
Since you repaired your convertable, have you raised it or lowered it since then? Once I fix mine am I going to still be able to use the top or is it permanently up until I replace the whole top?
@@DIYSalvageGuy got another question,,,,, the motor for the rear window that's for raising and lowering said window, it only works when it wants to. Ok recently my brake light sensor switch gave out. Haven't yet replaced it, just been bypassing it. Would that switch affect the motor for rear window, in any way?
Glue as much as you can at the same time. Doesn't matter if you do top or bottom first. Support the window and use paint stirrer to get more clamping area.
Hi! This looks great. I have a 2017 Camaro convertible. The glass actually sits on top of the top- which is cloth. The bottom, right corner has come unglued. Would your method work? Thank you for the video!
Hey there! I cannot say for sure, but I would think so. Really all you need to do is glue and clamp. Your application might be slightly different, but the concept should hold true. Good luck!
MY 2017 CAMARO IS WHAT LEAD ME HERE...IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I WAS CURIOUS DID YOU TRY THIS BECAUSE NOBODY WILL FIX IT FOR ME AND I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TOP.
It is still glued on so it is held by that. You can use beach balls on the inside to prop it up and put pressure on the glass from the inside to hold it. Hope this helps.
@@DIYSalvageGuy thank yu for the reply! hey theres another video by ronald sargolini and he slides the window , fabric and all , right o ff the track after he drills out a rivet in the center. i have a 2002 camero 35th aniversary edition, and my back glass is in bad shape so i ordered a glass from a guy online and its being shippeed to me nw and i was trying to identify my track that it can slide off and had trouble. i am 85 years old . i hope i can find a shop who will install this glass for me in the DMV area.
Yes. Holding strong. Make sure you clean it good. I also suggest getting a long stick, maybe a ruler or something to put between the window clamps. It will help the seal better.
@@tonytt7698 I did the same process but i used 3M Auto Glass Urethane Windshield Adhesive instead or rhino glue . it came out perfect and is still 100 percent. using the clamp method is what's gonna help the most. i did mine in sections . and waited 12 hours in between me moving the clamps around. mine came out perfect. looks like it would from factory and i trust it
My top is leaking on the right passenger side in the back seat only,the seat is wet, and the seal has come a part on the back driver side as well, but the seat is not wet . Do I still need to seal both sides of the top?

Hi Stacey. That's a great car. I have a 93 with almost 400k miles on it. I don't think it'd hard to fix, just takes a little time. Video should help. Good luck!
@DIYSalvageGuy with it all the way up and glued in holding well,,, can you still put the convertable top up and down with ease the way it's supposed to work? Or is it stuck in the upwards position until you get your whole top replaced eventually?
Default Great write up. One thing I can't determine is whether the rear glass is connected to anything other than the fabric of the convertible top. About 80% of my glass is separated from the top. If it's completely separated, will the glass fall into the car?
Rhino glue is what I used and it worked great but some people like 3m products as more of a household name they trust. Slightly different application but same result.
You can use isopropyl alcohol and a razor blade to scrape off any excess glue. Just need a clean surface. But you can use anything to achieve that goal. I also suggest using long pieces of something in between the clamps to apply additional pressure where the clamps aren't touching. I used wood on another car.
I have same car and same issue but the problem is window is not moving upward even if I support from inside. It seems this is something that I can’t fix without professional assistance. I’m looking for somewhere to fix it.

So did you only apply the glue to where the clamps sit only, or did you just glue the whole thing, please advise.
Glue where it is ripped off
what are you using to hold it up in position? before the clamps go on its not being held by a human, what is holding it up
It is still glued on so it is held by that. You can use beach balls on the inside to prop it up and put pressure on the glass from the inside to hold it. Hope this helps.

Great write up. One thing I can't determine is whether the rear glass is connected to anything other than the fabric of the convertible top. About 80% of my glass is separated from the top. If it's completely separated, will the glass fall into the car?
My glass was sandwiched between two pieces of fabric. It was just glued in.

I got a buick cascada and the window is glued from outside. Ao should i do this process backwards?
Seems like it would be similar to a windshield install. Should work fine though.
Would this work on a Miata?
I would assume so if there is a cloth top and a glass backing. It's a pretty universal application
Hi. You use Rhino glue but in the recommended products you have Rhino and 3M, which you don’t use in the video, so I’m a little confused?!

I also suggest using long pieces of something in between the clamps to apply additional pressure where the clamps aren't touching. I used wood on another car.
I have same car and same issue but the problem is window is not moving upward even if I support from inside. It seems this is something that I can’t fix without professional assistance. I’m looking for somewhere to fix it.
You can try using beach balls to support it from inside so you can work on the outside. I'm not exactly sure what you mean but I hope this helps.
My top separated from the window, but it’s shrunk and won’t stretch back to the window to reglue. Any suggestions?
Tops are supposed to be inelastic. There might not be much you can do if it shrunk besides replace the top.
Where are you base ?
