Default Convertible Top Replacement Thread - yep, the glue gave and the window was hanging...

*Sigh*

So I walked out to discover my '01 quattro's window hanging by just the bottom glue....

No repairs for such a gap.

Thus, I'll be ordering a replacement top online. I'm trying to find a manual to do this myself. I'm a handy guy, but can't find such a thing anywhere online...

Anyone done this before? Or can you point me in the right direction to find a manual / video / diagram?

Thanks!

Same just happened on my 08 A4 Cabriolet. One day I kept hearing cars drive by like the window was down. I finally found that the bottom and sides of my window were no longer attached. It was just hanging by the top. I bought a silicone adheasive/sealant. It is weatherproof and good for -60 - 160 degrees F. Was kinda messy going on, but cleaned up nicely with a razor. So far it works well. I even dumped some water on it 2 days later and none leaked through... The tube was $5 at Kmart
