Why do convertibles have glass on the back?

Some convertibles have a glass window on the back of the convertible top. This does several things, including but not limited to providing a more durable frame for the convertible top, and ensuring a clear spot to look through when driving. Gluing the top to the back glass when it comes off or has been replaced is not very difficult.

How do you fix a convertible canvas top?

Stick the canvas to the tape, working outward. The reason to work outward from a central point is so that any “excess” material does not build up at one side. Rub down the canvas over the tape firmly and apply some heat–not a great painfully hot amount–with a blow dryer for a thorough bond. The convertible top should be fixed.
