Rear window repairs only work on the original hoods as most aftermarket ones are sewn in.

Also when you start pulling around 15 year old hoods and zippers the threads pull out really easily.

One of the guys at the fitters said they had a Z3 in recently where the owner had bought a window replacement, zipped it in place only to find the zip detaching from the hood.

Apparently pressure washing hoods at the local Polish car wash is terrible for ripping the tired thread open and once the sticthing starts to go there is little you can do to repair it
