I think this must be a problem suffered mostly in countries that get a lot of sun. The UV rays must break down the glue or something. I've never suffered this problem on any of the five 944's I've owned / own.

I'd have thought, though, that the rear screen would be fixed in the same way as a replacement front screen. Can regular autoglass fitters not perform a permanent repair?


If not I'd be tempted to try getting giving the glass surface that the glue is applied to a better key. If it were me I'd mask of the edge of screen with metal strips and sandblast the area the glue needs to stick to. This would etch the glass and give the adhesive something to grip.
