If you are talking that the wound up window glass is not touching on the hood part the you will have to adjust the glass runner to make it do so. This can be done by winding the window down and gently pulling the runner out a bit until it is right or removing the door trim and adjusting the mount blots inside the door.

Convertible top coming away from glass window

This is a common problem. At the factory, the top material is bonded to the glass. That bond is breaking down. You can use Gorilla taps or urethane adhesive, but you will eventually need a new window unit.
The window unit is separate from the actual top. The top must be partially removed to replace the window unit.

I just bought a 1997 Sending convertable. The top is is good shape and does not leak yet the seams are dry roting...can I take a hot glue gun and reseal them?? Also is there any problem with taking water...

For 300 bucks you can have a new top WITH a rear glass window. It's really not worth messing with for that price. Otherwise, consider Duct tape. :(

BACK WINDOW SEPARATING FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP

Your glass was originally heat sealed to the top material. When it begins delaminating, your only recourse is to replace the top because your new top will come with a new window. Any sticky gooey repairs are very temporary at best

Good luck, Karl at aoksales.com

Replacing the back window in a 2002 convertible

The rear window in your car is a separate part from the top so it can be replaced without replacing the top.
You must, however remove most of the top.
Windows are available on Ebay and instructions are available on DVD here.

Back window of VW Cabrio 2001 is broken/ Need replacement

Look for a junkyard around that sells the window or buy one online for dirt cheap and then put it in yourself. It is not that hard just time consuming.

Convertible rear window separated from fabric top

This problem is very common and is known as delamination.
Use Urethane adhesive to reglue the window.
This same adhesive is used to install windshields.
The hard part will be to hold the window in place till the Urethane cures.
Prepare for that in advance.
