Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.

I have the glass starting to come off of the frame. Couple of questions and the first one is has anyone had this happen? Second one is what did you do about it? Just replacing the t top is not an option as this is an 82 Collector car and I do not know where you would ever find the correct t top. I had a corvette this is the second time it has happened to this t top. The first time I had a corvette shop fix it and it did not last. So now I�m trying to get a little smarter on the subject. I plan on having a glass place do it this time. But I still want to know how it can be done.

But seriously.....iirc, GM used a "special" adhesive to bond the glass to the frame section. Not sure what brand, or what they actually call it. A good glass shop should be able to take care of it, I would think.
