i have read that it makes it harder to get to the engine - but isit just a little harder or does it make it a nightmare?

am I going to get charged "extra" by the indie or the dealer for service - because they actually can't get into the cjjar, or will they end up having to remove the top to some degree to get into the engine bay?

just curious. my plastic window is cracked...not bad, but my homemade repair with silicone has failed. i can fix it again, but it's eventually going to be time to either have an upholstery shop sew in a new window for about $400 or buy a new top..

with labor..what is a new glass window top REALLY costing... whatg is installed price given that hte top itself costs about $600...

I installed my top myself. Took all day.. and i mean all day. Would I do it again? Probably not but it is rewarding to look at. Its perfect and has held up well the past few months. I have had some service done and not been charged extra for it. Not sure why others are saying that. All I know is it has not cost me more.... yet. Hope this helps.
