I bought a 2001 Toyota Solara Convertible a few months ago (used, as is – no problems so far) and I yesterday when I went to put the top back up, the rear window got stuck and tore from the top. I tried putting some epoxy glue on it but the glass was too heavy, it didn’t work. I was out of town and didn’t want any rain coming in so I taped it up with some Gorilla tape and that held it up for the majority of the 10 hour car ride home. My question is how do I go about getting this fixed. I do not believe I should need a new top or new window, as they are both in good condition. Is there a stronger glue I can try or who do I take it to (what type of auto repair shop, glass or upholstery or someone else) get it fixed? Also, about how much should this cost? Thanks for the help.

The rear window on my car has been broken by a coward in my neighborhood. I’m the type to fix my car’s issues on my own instead of taking it places and wasting money. I also spoke to a collision/auto glass specialist about it, and naturally he told me it’s almost impossible to fix it on my own especially without the right tools. What tools/products would I need in order to install a new rear window, and where could I find them?
