[Perfectlap]

I don't understand why they didn't just design a recessed zipper around the perimter of the window. That would have made replacing the window an inexpensive snap. My softop is in mint condition but due to some ice that I stupidly removed while the plastic was ice cold I put a small hairline crack in the plastic, which of course has now grown from nickel size to this T shape crack.
I'm almost tempted to replace the plastic only because I prefer the bigger visibility size to a small glass window top. And I'm guessing I'd save about $700 between labor and parts. Better spent on tires, body work touch ups or suspension. This canvas can easily go another 10 years and a properly maintained plastic window will looks crystal clear for most of that time. I never had to do the chop, after a while the bend has memory to it and folds correctly. Downside of course is not having the convenience of heating the window.
