I posted this in the Canada section but decided to repost here as well in case anyone has done this before and to see whether rebonding works as most threads talk about stitching. Just wondering if anyone has ever had this done:
My plastic window just started to partially loosen itself from the canvas (about 2 inches) and I wanted to get this fixed before it has any further damage. I've e-mailed a few places and the rate seems to be around $300, but they won't warranty their work but said if there are problems they would help rebond 1 more time. Anyways, anybody know of anyone good or if this solution would work? So far these are the companies I'm considering having just done a google search. Any advice is much appreciated.

FWIW, I recommend replacing the window. The replacement would/should be double-stitched...and make sure they water seal the stitching. Otherwise, the stitches will seep a bit when it rains.

This is not an inexpensive fix, and therefore should be considered only if the canvas is still in excellent condition. Otherwise, top and window replacement is probably the best economic decision especially if you intend to keep the car a few years or more.

Bottom line: re-bonding seldom solves the problem.

Hi Relinuca,

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind and speak to them about that option as well. It sounds like the better way to go from what I've read from the posts as well.

Have a good one,

Eddy
