Yes, it is. The glue is nothing but standard contact cement which you can get at Home Depot if there's not enough in the puny bottle e-Miata gives you. The best way to apply it is to both the flap and the part of the top the flap will cover. Let both sides dry for about 5-10 minutes, then press them together. Use a little more glue at the place on the flap where the two ends are stiched together. Because it's a little stiffer than the rest of the flap it doesn't want to lay down as easily.

It's best to mask the top outside the area the flap will cover to keep glue off the fabric. It won't come off very easy if you get some on the fabric. If you get the glue on the plastic window, don't try to wipe it off while it's wet because you'll create a big permanent mess. Let it dry to a rubbery booger consistency and then roll it off with your finger.:nono
