    That happened to mine. It occurs because you top actually shrinks over time. I replaced my top in 97 and I am now having problems with the bottom separating. I use GOO, it seems to work well, but only lasts about 10 months. If you find something else....let me know.

    I just thought of this, since the parts are completely separated unlike mine, you can try something I just thought of...years ago, I built a folding kayak out of wood and canvas....I used some marine epoxy or cement (it worked like paper-cement, let it dry and press the two together). The stuff held like champ in harsh condiditions....try something like that...

      turns out that whole section of the top come out. it costs about $300 for the rear canvas and windshield. i think ill try the adhesive you recomended first or until i can afford to buy the peice so i can replace it. but thanks for the help its a good temp fix.
