Default What canopy adhesive to use?

I've done a search in both RAS and on the web but I'm not finding the information I'm looking for. I'm restoring a 1963 S Austria and one of the previous owners used what I think is Sikaflex to bond the canopy glass to the metal canopy frame. It's now separating badly. What should I use to bond the plexiglass to the frame? And should I prime the metal frame and then scuff it where the glass will be bonded, or leave it bare until after the glass is glued on?

Thanks for your help,

Jeff


Jeff,

do you know which Sikaflex product was used? The stuff we use in all sorts of applications on wind turbines is type 221 and it is a Urethane sealant/glue which is incredibly UV and weather resistant. Our preferred color is white but it comes in different colors, too.
