Hey gang, My 1975 convertible white top was in very good condition, but the rear window cracked from drying out over the years. I was trying to put off the major expense and project of replacing the entire convertible top with a new one, so I intended to just temporarily fix the window, so I could continue to drive in the rain for another season until a top replacement. Honestly, my temporary fix which cost me less than $25 Canadian turned out so good, I never looked back. I made a youtube video to help anyone else that has this issue and doesn't want to fork over $500+ for a new top or pay $2000 for a shop to replace it. This is not for everyone, but might make sense if you have a nice driver and light on cash. Only caution is be extremely slow and careful cutting out the old top to not cut the vinyl roof top, and get a second pair of hands to help you. Do not try a different adhesive than what I recommend, other's just won't work or provide the water seal. Good luck.
