Finding the OEM glass top and frame

from the 03-04 models would be nice but I would have a problem paying the premium required for the later model top/frame and installing a potentially 8-10 year old convertible top when I could get a brand new one for much less.

I went with Robbins w/glass, against the wishes of my indy mechanic. Robbins tops do however come with a "service strap" cord to hold it up and out of the way for engine access. Visibility is reduced considerably, but a hidden benefit is it blocks headlight glare in your rear view mirror when trucks ride your ass! Defroster works great, you should already have the connection for plug and play.
All in all I prefer it to cracked and foggy plastic.

See if your insurance will cover it.
