This is what i got below from the seller


If I would rate it. it's probably 3- 4 ,1 being the easiest. Other guys sell their clear for $90, $115 for the tinted. Best I can do for u is $75(clear) & $90 ( tinted). Thanks.

That's all well & good, but do you know how to sew? Sew well?? What happens between the two layers of plastic film? What about dirt...condensation. Any distortion? Where are you going to stand while sewing? Are you a contortionist?

If you want tinted windows, buy a Limo.

your missing the point.. I am not just talking about the tinted one. I need to replace my clear back window cause it is cracked as well as starting to rip at the edges. So i was trying to see if this is a good alternative . The roof is about 2 yrs old and is in perfect condition as far the fabric goes. I was saying is this something that you think could easily be done. I mean yes.. i sewed and yes I sewed pretty good. i been reading on renntech.org that removing the convertible top is not that crazy and it takes like 20 mins to remove it. So I can sew it with out putting my body in awkard positions. There is a write up on removing the top and also a writeup from the person who selling these kits of tinted/clear rear windows

The other thing is i been reading on renntech.org that removing the convertible top is not that crazy and it takes like 20 mins to remove it.

OK, but I think that guy's product needs to have an existing window to sew onto. According to that guy's eBay ad, he has not sold any, and what he has sold is a key chain and a flashlight.

I don't see "1,000's" of review on Renntech...but maybe I am missing something.

To repair your weathered and torn window, a top replacement is best, but expensive. You might even be able to upgrade to the glass.

Does it look possible?.. Is it something you would do ? I did my own brakes .. my window regulator and motor I hooked up my navaigation.. installed my seats and also installed HID lights in my car... So i would say it's very possible I am just try to find out if anyone else attempted it
