A few years ago I replaced my 2001 top due to the plastic window completely deteriorating.
I chose to buy a used 2003 top on 4 rib frame with glass and its been fantastic.

However I dont know what to do with the old top which is in great condition except for the plastic window.

I was wondering if anyone has tried cutting out the window area and making a Spyder/Bimini type top out of it?

I hate to just throw the old top and frame out but resale value is next to nothing so maybe it can be re-purposed?

Ideas?
