New Top! (Used but new to me)

Removed that hazed, split, brittle convertible top and installed me a glass replacement. Makes the car look so much cleaner!

I also have a a dark blue top with glass and defroster on a frame for sale if anyone's interested PM me!

Looks great. Was it hard to remove old and install new top?

For clarification, is that an 03-04 top you installed?
Also, what year soft or hard top do you have for sale?

I had my Old top out in about 45 minutes. Pulls out neat and clean! I would recommend having new Pushrods ready because sometimes but not often the plastic ball socket will crack when trying to remove it.

The top I installed is out of an 03. The top I have is out of an 03. If you have an email, I will send you some pics.

Thanks

I've been looking for a local source of used glass window soft tops for the last six months with no luck. Is there a source you guys use.
I'm about ready to bite the new top bullet as my window is apparently defecting from the rest of the car.
