I use normal Evostick impact adhesive. As sold in the red tins. It is usually "under the counter" in the UK to deter glue sniffers.

When fitting, you want to get it nice and taught but don't overdo it on a warm day or you will struggle to latch the top in cold weather. Also pay particular attention to the front outer corners above the windscreen and to aligning the shape of the rain gutter above the side windows. Pulling too hard in the middle will tend to pull the sides in and end up with poor fitting at the sides.
