Soft top glue

Post by GRUVBB » Fri Oct 11, 2013 11:17 am

The glue has failed on one of my soft tops where it wraps around the metal frame directly above the seats.
It has dropped down and the roof lifts due to the pressure differential when driving putting a strain on other anchor points.
Dont want it to lift off like a toupe in a hurricane
I searched the Miata forums and came across this 3M adhesive #08088.
Just purchased a can locally and will try it out over the weekend.
Has anyone used this product before or reglued their own roof.... Any thing in particular to look out for doing this???? :idea:

Actually only glued soft top this morning with this product. It sticks like sh#%. Well it did to my fingers. Arrived home this afternoon and all seems sweet. Have not been for a drive with it newly glued due to painting while the weather is mint. Did other Roadster also as I feel super confident with it. Will post up feedback after I drive around with it and it gets some pressure on seams when reaching speed and it tries to lift. I have posted a pic of can on this posting also. I am aware that there is a double post but they both now have a pic of the product.unable to delete other post. Also in pic is the colour dye I endorse as well. :P
