I replaced my plastic window top with an aftermarket glass top. The plastic window top would fold up and stay up to allow fairly easy access to the engine cover. The glass top (being glass) won't fold in the same place so it kind of wants to hang down instead of fold up.

I found it easiest to just push it back up against the roll hoops as best I could and proceed to access the engine. Most aftermarket top manufacturers also provide a length of material to use as a tie back to hold the top back against the roll hoops but I found it to take more time to use that than really needed.

At the end of the day, its a teeny bit more work to get to the engine with the glass top but nothing that should stop anyone from getting one.
