Do you have pics?

sonofab...... I think reading this thread jinxes you!!!!

leaving for work today, a cool 63 degrees, wanted to rock top down...

zzzzzz *pop* gahhH!!! half inch crack in the seam on passenger side.

clearly not enough to replace the whole top, but dammit! just one of those things... kinda scared to use the top now. what is a locally available product I can use to make the plastic more flexible again?

locally is tough...maybe you can find some plexus, Renovo is better but definitely mail order.

Just put clear packaging tape on it until you get a new one....no biggie.

Whatever you do don't use clear silicone like my PO did, it looks like crap.

What I want to know is where do you get a glass top for $500? I saw the gahh ones were 750+

If you look at one of my previous posts in this thread, you will see I posted a link to a site that sells the GAHH glass tops for $599.
