top torn on bow, any easy fixes?
basically, some people have tried to steal my car and havent (nor will they) succeeded. problem is that the top is torn from pulling up on both corners of the bow now, so it doesnt sit so flushed. ive tried contact cement but that lasted like 3 days, ( im in miami and it was summertime).
anybody reccomend anything besides a new top? thanks for the help team

Either a 3M or Permatex trim or weather stripping adhesive like below

Did you think about turning it in to your car insurance? Get a couple estimates, might need a new top anyway to make it right. GOOD LUCK!

yeah but with my deductible, its not worth even mentioning it to them. down in this "fraud city" where i live in, its not easy to get anything from insurance companies. but ima try the weatherstrip adhesive. its worth a shot. thanks for the advise guys
