They all banana eventually. About the only thing you can do is replace it. You will probably find the holes busted out in the door panel card at the ends.

You probably have busted holes in the carboard of the door panel. I would take the door panel off, and fix them. I fixed mine with some tape and zip ties. I cut the zip ties so that the plastic will be as long as the top of the broken circle. then I just used some packing tape to keep them there. I also, when I took the retainers off the plastic piece, and replaced them with the door panel attached, I taped the whole top section over, so that it would be more secure.

A lot of them crack within a foot of the front. I would either leave it or buy a new one.
My thought is that the sun probably shrinks the top over time, it's been around almost 30 years.

Thanks guys, I'm looking for a quick and cheap fix. Can I put any adhesive on it to hold it in place?
