Flush-Mount Window Bonding: How OEM+ Auto Tops Sets a New Standard

May 23, 2025 By Gary Dekirmendjian

The Hog Ring - Flush-Mount Window Bonding by OEM+

Tired of window separation, leaks, and poor alignment on aftermarket convertible tops? OEM+ Auto Tops has engineered a solution that not only matches OEM convertible tops—but exceeds them in every way.

We’re proud to introduce our Flush-Mount Window Bonding System—an innovative breakthrough designed for industry professionals who demand precision, performance, and longevity in every stitch.

The Problem: Window Separation on Soft Tops

Convertible soft tops often suffer from one major flaw over time: the bond between the rear glass and the top fabric fails. You’ve seen it—gaps, leaks, even complete separation. It’s not just a cosmetic issue; it compromises the entire top’s performance and lifespan.

That’s why we developed a proprietary flush-mount system for bonding glass that delivers a perfect factory-style finish with zero separation—no gaps, no failures.

Designed with Precision, Modeled for Perfection

At OEM+ Auto Tops, we don’t guess. We digitally scan each rear window, capturing a 3D map of its exact perimeter. That scan becomes the blueprint for a 3D-modeled injection mold, ensuring the flush-mount frame fits the glass with millimeter accuracy—every time.

Whether it’s the Porsche 991/992, Mercedes C-Class or E-Class, or Volkswagen Beetle, our flush-mount system blends seamlessly with the OEM silhouette, elevating the look and eliminating tell-tale signs of aftermarket work.

OEM Construction, Reinvented for the Real World

Every part of the flush-mount system is built in-house—from digital design and tooling to final production. This lets us prototype rapidly, test rigorously, and maintain total quality control.

We construct each frame from UV-resistant plastic, engineered to withstand long-term sun exposure without fading or cracking. For models with articulating windows, we mold in metal pivot brackets—ensuring full compatibility with OEM hardware.

The Bond: Waterproof, Durable, and Built to Last

Our system uses a high-strength urethane adhesive, applied as a precision bead around the glass. This adhesive doesn’t just hold—it locks in a 100% waterproof seal that resists leaks, moisture intrusion, and delamination.

Added features like threaded insert grooves make headliner installation smoother and more secure, while integrated molded grooves ensure a clean, finished look with every build.

Why Flush-Mount Window Bonding is the Future of Soft Tops

More than just sleek—it’s smart. Here’s why more trimmers and builders are switching to OEM+ flush-mount solutions:

  • True OEM appearance for a factory-finished look
  • Zero window separation—permanently bonded with advanced gluing techniques
  • 3D-modeled molds for superior fit and alignment
  • UV-stable materials that hold up in harsh climates
  • Molded metal brackets for articulating glass compatibility
  • Threaded grooves for quick, clean headliner installation

Built by Engineers. Trusted by Trimmers.

Our flush-mount window bonding system reflects the heart of what OEM+ Auto Tops stands for: innovation, craftsmanship, and long-term value.

We don’t just manufacture convertible tops—we reimagine how they should perform. So when your customer wants something better than stock, give them a reason to say yes. Choose flush-mount from OEM+ and install with confidence.
