All the more reason to replace with the glass window cloth top....WHEN THE TIME COMES.

Yes, the glass window is a bit smaller than the plastic but By adjusting the rear view mirror a bit the rear view is pretty good. The pluses are defroster wires, clearer view, easier to clean, eliminates the infamous plastic window "chop", and no cold temperature cracking.

Worth considering if your plastic window is cracked or top cloth needs replacing due to general poor condition....

Note:....Depending on the year of the car the new glass replacement tops have larger glass windows than the 98's or 99's....so check it out. (my car is a 98'
