Hello All!

I took delivery of my "new" 2002 black on black 986 S early this morning! So far, the car has blown me away - Its just sweet!

My back window is plastic, and is badly cracked on both sides. In fact, on the passenger side, there is triangle hole about 1.5 inches on each side. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I did this damage myself this morning in my excitment to put the top down. It was a bit cold after the truck dropped off my car (about 30 degrees) and I heard a loud CRACK noise from the back window as I put the top down.

So to the question - I've read other articles posted here about sewing in a new plastic window. It sounds not too tough if you're willing to just put in the long tedious time to do it. That said, has anyone here ever used the window offered by the website below? Just curious about the quality...
