You might try some seam sealer that is used on tents for camping.  A good 
camping outfitter will have it for a few bucks.  It is designed specifically 
for that application.  It is a clear liquid in a tube.  The other 
alternatives are to complain to the manufacturer or supplier of the new hood 
to try to get a replacement, or take it to a conv. top installer and have 
them fix it.
Good luck.
