Yeah, if I pulled the whole top off I think I could fix that joint better. My best guess from looking at it is that it helps hold the top down and keep it from ballooning up like you see on so many convertibles going down the highway. You can put your fingers up in that gap on mine while driving down the highway, but it's not that bad. The glue has helped some, but it's just near impossible to pull the top up high enough to get the glue in and then set it back down. I knew it was a temporary solution at best, but when the alternative was something like $700 for a top I figured it was worth a shot. I've been really happy with the glass fix though. I had picked the superglue because it said it worked on glass and fabric. I think the Jag tops are actually vinyl instead of the fabric that the Vipers are, but I could be wrong. I could see it needing a different type of glue. There's a nice chart somewhere on the internet that can tell you what material the factory top is. I want to say the Viper was a Hartz brand something or other. It's something like 3 or 4 materials layered together. There's an outside canvas shell, and inner rubber type liner, then the inside canvas/fabric. I think the heat sealing that happens at the factory more or less melts the rubber liner on the inside and causes it to bond through the inside canvas layer.
