1st of all Welcome to the board! Is it stitching that is comming loose? You should take the car to an automotive trim show and see what they recommend the fix be.

I had the same problem on mine last summer... Once it starts letting go, it goes quick, especiall if you frequently put your top up and down. If you catch it right away... as in there's only a one or two inch gap that has come apart, a guy at a top shop told me to use an epoxy sealant/adhesive. I tried that on mine, but it didn't work... of course I had to glue together at least a foot of glass to vinyl too. I ended up just replacing the back window.... which, by the way, isn't all that hard to do yourself on an F-body.
