thanks to all for the torn plastic window tips. good call, bite the bullet indeed. since i have decided to buy a new top, now the question is to go with the original plastic window or one with a glass window. naturally, i dig the idea of the glass window but figured if porsche had the technology at the time my car was made (2001), they would have put a glass rear window in the car. i wonder if the glass window would comprimise the rest of the mechanical components with regards to the way the top operates (fit when top is down, or causing added wear and tear on canvas).
