Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / September 2007Targa top repair
I did a dumb thing and cracked my Targa top right on the back left corner. A piece about 2" x 1" broke off and now I need to repair it . Any ideas out there on what type of glue would be best? The piece broke off as i tilted it too far upward while it was in the rear , top holder. Duh! Thanks in advance--this has been a great forum for info,questions etc... in the past.

The 1:1 mix is preferred over the 10:1. $$$$$$$  SignatureDad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd 64 Red/red/white top/4spd Thanks for the response. I'll let you know how it works out. I may use an epoxy for it otherwise joe >> I did a dumb thing and cracked my Targa top right on the back left >> corner.

It's a glass top Joe >> I did a dumb thing and cracked my Targa top right on the back left >> corner.

The 2-part methacrylate adhesive is for fiberglass and it softens both materials to allow them to nit together, it is not intended for the glass/plastic top to my knowledge. SignatureDad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd 64 Red/red/white top/4spd I used glass to glass epoxy. Looks nice and clean ,waterproof and hopefully holds it without further problems. I'll have to keep a close eye on it next time I clean the car to make sure no water seeps through. And take the van next time I need room for two golf bags : ). Joe >> Sorry ,I should have been more specific.
