I use this seven years ago on an old BMW and as luck would have it now I’m using the same technique on a Mini Cooper. Excellent advice then, excellent advice now. Thanks for doing this.

Clamps are used backwards: the larger piece of plastic better distributes clamping pressure over a Larger area so they should be pressing down on fabric.

I know it's been a really long time since you posted this video, but I'm wondering how long this held up for you. I'm getting ready to do this to my 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. I replaced the top three years ago and the glass has already separated. I'm not going to spend $1500+ USD on another top. Thank you for posting this video.

@@KojiWoji_ it’s a very messy process. Make sure you wear gloves, the stuff took days to come off my hands a I would even mask off areas you don’t want the glue so that you don’t get black smudges on your window. If you can afford the suction clamps, do it. I used heavy duty magnets, which work well, but the glue gets on the magnets and it’s not fun. I also recommend doing it with the top clamped shut. I did it open as recommended, but when I went to clamp it closed I could hear it stretching in places I probably glued too tight. Sounds like I’m just a messy guy but I really tried to be neat, just needed more preparation. Because of all my issues I only completed 75% of the piece that was falling off. I was planning to finish it the next day, and didn’t get back to it. Glues dried up and I haven’t had the chance to re-order. It lasted about 6 months of constant top going up and down, and slowly it started splitting from the opening I didn’t glue. It’s over a year later and certain parts are still holding up. I’m going to try again and finish 100% of it. I think if I take my own advise into consideration it should hold firmly for long enough to make it worth it. New tops after installation fees can be over 1k if not more with the way things are going, so $100 on glues and clamps is a good deal.

Just finished doing this to my '09 Mini. Thanks so much for the video. The only suggestion I have for others doing this is to make sure you either, a) remove the inside pillows after clamping but before gluing, or b) if leaving the pillows in place, do not move them until after the glue has cured. Otherwise you run the risk of smearing the stuff on the inside of the glass (like I did), which is hard to get at. I was anticipating a tedious, hot job trying to scrape the stuff off without damaging the window defroster wires. Started on doing just that, using the damp paper towel I had used to clean the outside of the glass to wipe off the dust where I had scraped and found, much to my delight, that if I scrubbed hard enough it came off! Apparently, it doesn't stick as well to the clear plastic covering the defroster on the inside of the window. Got lucky, but in retrospect, it was a problem easily avoided.

So after watching this video, thank you by the way, I have started my Mini Cooper R57 window re-glue. I also used the primer (3m Single Step Primer and the 3m Window Weld 08609) to reseal the canvass on the inside first. After applying the primer, i waited an hour to let it set, then re-glued the interior seam, i used wooden clothes pins to hold the canvass fabric together. I then moved the top down slightly, to get a little extra pull on the top, i started on the driver’s side and stretched the canvass on to the glass, set my suction cup holders, and applied a medium bead of the glue and tightened clamps accordingly. I then let this set an hour and a half with a couple of pillows pushing on the glass from the inside, and repeated this process all the way around the window. I will update with my results.

Yeah, painter's tape right at the glue boundary line with 3x5 index cards or newspaper on the other side of the tape to give yourself *lots* of room to work with. The problem with tape and newsprint or cards is that he's using those suction cup clamps, which can make the tape hard to pull up.

"Probably take half an hour" . You repeated yourself 3 times. Not bad for a rookie though. Fairly detailed and descriptive. Pillows? From planes, trains & automobiles. Funny. Where your hands? Lol. Thanks Do you need the clamps if you have enough pillows? Mine is only released from the bottom. 2007 Solara. Dow makes a glass adhesive doesnt need the primer. Built in. 16.50 on ebay. UV is only working where the adhesive is exposed. Direct sun or uv exposure doesnt happen if you apply it correctly. Why pay 20.oo for the little bottle of uv protective when dow has it mixed into there product.

thank you for the video. definitely helpful. just finished rear window glass reglue on neighbor's pontiac solstice convertible. a couple of suggestions with the sealy clamps. spin them around compared to orientation shown in video so that the wider spoon-like side is placed on the fabric of convertible. also recommend placing wood strips cut to appropriate length to span distance between sealy clamps to distribute the applied force over a longer distance. a standard paint stir-stick cut to length works well. pleased to report a successful outcome and major cost savings. neighbor reported getting repair quotes from local body shops starting at $1500 to upwards of $3000+ with no guarantee of success. many shops turned down the repair altogether. cost as a DIY repair: clamps (6): $40, primer: $32, windo-weld glue: $30, total $103. labor time: a couple of hours start to finish. definitely worth a shot as DIY project.
