Soft Top - Rear Panel Separated from Plastic Corner

[Fourd]

So the leftmost edge of rear panel detached from the plastic corner piece. See photos. Any idea how it was attached or adhered? Any suggestions for how to fix? Thanks in advance.

Appears yours is held by clips that broke off. Ford placed rivets(TSB)right where the clips would go. I can get you a pic tonight. Easy fix

All 3 locations. Might be 4 but you get the idea.

I’ve got this problem too. The dealer is telling me that TSB 22-2055 and TSB 23-2091 are outdated and no longer available. So they want to charge me $2k for a new back window.
Are they being jerks? Should I take it to a local repair guy instead?

Mine told me same thing and I don't trust them a bit, I'm afraid. I bought the extended warranty for my Bronco and they certainly did not volunteer it would be covered by it. I don't even want a soft top and only switched to softtop to speed up initial delivery by almost a year (I ordered in early August 2020). In the meanwhile, I am tempted to take the local shop that I trust and is very good, give them the fix sheet posted above and let them "bandaid" fix it however they wish and then just get hard top ordered sooner rather than later.

Would an upholstery shop be able to fix it? I had a different problem with mine, and Ford took it to an upholstery shop to have them fix it. Luckily, it was under warranty at the time.

How? Did you try to separate them? Or did it happen without help?

Came apart while putting the soft top on and off.

Yep, those are not meant to be separated. Ever. You just pop the whole corner off and leave it attached to rear window. Stuff they should tell you early on.
