Default Convertable top question

So my top came in the mail today with no back window (figured it would be clear vynl). I called the company and they said i had to re-use the old window, which is fine and dandy. But how do i seal it, ect ect ect. Didnt dig into it yet, just trying to gather some info.

Thinking back - I seem to recall the window being bonded (glued) into the new top - it was either that or it went into a rubber channel - it's been (quite) a few years -

yea i got it figured out, the window is bonded to the frame. had to take it out bolt the frame in, take out the 8 million staples out of it. then cut the top around the frame, then push window in with a little sealant.
