How to glue the glass to the convertible car's soft top

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Convertible top

In this video, we see the method used by a youtuber with great skill to reattach the glass to the convertible top of a car. First, he built suction cups to improve the adhesion of the glue, using beech strips that he cut to size, drilled, created the bridges, and applied the suction cups. He removed excess glue from the glass and applied another specific one from Henkel, which can be found on Amazon with the code B08XB5VT93 at a price of 14.60 euros, plus delivery costs of 6.94 euros. We place the seal and then place our suction cups on top for a perfect seal. We let it dry for two hours. We turn the glass and block it by holding it with ropes to the ceiling of the garage, as shown in the video, apply the glue, then our suction cups again, and let it dry overnight.
