Rear window in my 08 has detached completely, no luck finding any body shop to repair it. Anyone else have this problem?
 
Have you tried a glass specialist such as safelite.com ?

No I didn't think of them, great suggestion and I will try that. The places I have tried don't want to attempt it for fear of failure.
 
There is a GM TSB on this issue. I have spoke to several Solstice and Sky owners who have done this repair and it has worked out well for them. They just caution to mask off the top and window as the 3M sealant is hard to remove if it gets on the top!!!!! I have attached the TSB

They all said it was easy to do, they used blocks of wood to keep the window in place while the sealant dried, they all said they did it with the top up and latched. They say just take your time and clean the area the sealant goes well.

I have not needed to do this yet, but I suspect I will eventually. Good Luck

Thank you very much, I will have to try this. I think someone did a poor job reattaching this before. I live in Florida and my garage gets up to 100° fairly often with the doors closed. I'm sure that contributed to the failure.

I have the issue of my top not drawing up tight! I can’t even drive my solstice!
 
I would need some more info to try and help you out, also pictures of what is happening would help. It could be a cable issue
