My roof is like brand new so it seems silly to replace. Oh, plus 101 has it at a five (or something) wrench job, which is above my current ability by 4 wrenches. I was thinking about taking out the old and somehow velcro ing from the inside a new stiff piece of plastic that I can pull out when top is going down. Just a thought, not sure if even possible but it seems dumb to put a new one on just to bend when closing.
Thanks.
There's a video on youtube where a guy replaced his back window and it was a big job. You could have it professionally done but it probably would be cost prohibitive. I replaced mine with a German canvas one with the plastic window and paid around $390.00 with free shipping from Convertible Top Replacements | Auto Tops Direct Car Tops I think the price went up around $20.00, but I just bought it about 2 months ago. It was a bit of work but not to bad, and my skills are probably average. I was quoted $750.00 for labor from a local shop, so I saved that expense. I just drive my car in nice weather so I usually have the top down, another reason I went with the plastic window, but the glass one was only about $160.00 more.
