Take your car, to a upholstery /convertible top shop. They can help you.
For some reason, perhaps extreme heat, the factory glue that normally adheres the convertible top to the roof guides has broken-down and the top has separated and is capable of flapping around. Not ideal. Is there a recommended glue - strong enough to reattach more permanently without soaking through the fabric? A 3m product maybe?

Were you able to resolve this issue?

Hey, powderpuff, were you able to find a solution for your top? My 2013 500c with a black top has had exactly this problem since last summer and I need to get it fixed. I tried taking it to my dealership/studio and the idiots told me the only thing they can do is replace the entire to the tune of $4000. Ridiculous. And clearly not the case. I can clearly see where the glue has come off the rail. The top isn’t compromised nor does it leak. Hoping you found an easy DIY fix, or can tell me how much it was to fix at a convertible shopWere you able to resolve this issue? We are having the same issue.
Did you get it stitched? I live in Florida and I don't want to have it glued again to come undone.I had the same problem when I purchased my used 500 from Florida, I guess the intanse heat melted the glue. Someone suggested I have it stitched instead of glued. I decided to purchase a used top from scrap yard in Canada ( less heat there ) and installed it ( took 8 hours, not complicated but a lot of steps to follow) it held for 5 years and now this one is ungluing... seriously thinking of having stitched instead, just worried about water proofing.
