Yes. I bought a new top lol. In all seriousness, I know of one person that used marine grade vinyl and he used a high grade epoxy glue to attach it. Supposedly it worked very well.

i just coughed up $577 for a Robbins cloth top/rear glass/defroster and the damn thing has faded spots and still won't open. (2 weeks old) /threadjack

i'd seriously just get a top elsewhere than replace the glass

Id prefer to just get it on the frame. Less work for both of us.
