How to glue the rearview window back to the convertible hood

[stevep10]

Hi guys,

My first post, so hopefully in the right place

Some advice please if anyone knows the answer.
I have a 2010 A3 TDI convertible, but the roof is separating from the rear view window. 

(I suspect this is the source of my leak when it rains too 😒)

 

Any suggestions on how best to glue it back down?

 

Thanks

 

Steve

Here's a similar post I did on repairing the window on a TT which might be useful.

Hell Kendal Steve,

The two stumbling blocks here, are surface cleanliness of the mating surfaces, and the ‘quality’ of the adhesive to use. The likelihood is that you won’t be able to buy an economical small quality of the necessary professional adhesive, and any attempt to use a sub standard product will result in an almost impossible situation to retrieve.

If this were mine, I would be searching for Classic Car Trimmers in the area, and seeking advice there. We all like to DIY things, but I fear this is one job where specialist materials will be required. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
