[pothole]

I think there are a few factors here.

Does you Box live outside? If so, glass is a boon.

Do you need to replace the whole hood / top? May as well go glass.

The other question is how much does it cost you locally to get a new plastic screen sown in?

For me it was £200 vs about £700 for a whole new top. My top was fine and my Box lives indoors, so I just had the new screen.

I also prefer the external and view out from the cabin of the large plastic screen. So that's what I went for. Even If I have to get it replaced again once or twice, it will work out now more expensive. Guys who did the screen did an immaculate job.
