Its a fatal combination of toothpaste, abrasive sponge and plain stupidity on my part

Once your window goes hazy and then yellow the plastic is on its way out.

It wont be long before you start getting cracks, maybe a couple years if your lucky and don't retract the roof at all.

Better to invest your time in getting a new plastic window sewn in ($150-$600), buy a new third party replacement top ($450-$700) or replace the entire roof with a used glass window 03-04 4 bow top($700-$1200)

I suppose polishing will get it useable at least for the short term. I have heard others say that the plastic lens polishing/restore kits work reasonably well.

Tip: Never fill oil into the coolant system. Never fill Water into the Oil system. So your boo boo is not too terrible compared to some others unfortunate mistakes.
