Targa 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.

A 2-part methacrylate adhesive will be your best bet if you can find
it at a local marina or aircraft repair shop. The 1:1 mix is preferred
over the 10:1. $$$$$$$

Thanks for the response. I'll let you know how it works out. I may use an
epoxy for it otherwise

You can find fiberglass repair kits at nearly any hardware or autoparts
store.

Sorry ,I should have been more specific. It's a glass top

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.

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 : ).
