2004 A4 Cabriolet Rag Top Rear Window Falling Out

[Okie Fred]

The internal and external seals are separating from my glass rear window of my soft top.   It's happening mostly on the external side.  The window is separated enough now to rattle while I'm driving. 

 

I tried two years ago to glue the seals back in place but that has since re-separated and is now separating much further. 

 

Is it even possible to re-seal the soft top to the window?   If so, what should I use and what is the best means for success? 

 

I understand that the Audi replacement soft top is upwards of $3,000 to $4,000.  That's a little rich for my blood.  Does a good "off brand" replacement soft top exist?  If so, what are my options? 

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Winter approaches.

Fred, from what I've heard, it's simply a case of finding a good enough adhesive/glue and sticking it again  :(
