      @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

    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

    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…..

    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.

    • @DIYSalvageGuy
      @DIYSalvageGuy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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)

      @@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.

      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.

      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.

      @DIYSalvageGuy  ปีที่แล้ว

      I would think so much you'd have to make sure the glue is made for plastic bonding.

      I don't know what kind of glass it is, but we used rhino glue. There is a link to it down in the description along with clamps if needed.

      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.
