Try butyl rubber caulk or clear silicone instead of "yellow death". U normally need an epoxy & u need 2 take the pressure off the canvas & clamp it alot..weatherstrip is ok 4 moulding etc.. auto glass

WOW! After reading all those instructions, I think I'll pay somebody to put on a new top!!!
Not for the faint of heart--or the impatient...

Yeah, 2 full days for me, and I was sore as anything for a week afterwards.

Call an Auto-Upholstery shop near you (check the Yellow Pages) for a repair quote. That's gotta be cheaper than a new top.
 
I'm sure they use specialty threads, weather and sun resistant.
