My New Top -- '99 with Glass Window

[dghii]

I love my glass window top. Its my favorite upgrade as the glass holds up great and the car looks newer. I agree that the rear view is partially blocked but I don't care as most of my driving is top down anyway.

I installed my own...It wasn't nearly as tough as I though it might be and the fit was great, with absolutely no issues.

Any how to videos?

That top looks really great! I just picked up a 2000 S and it came with a new glass window top. Any idea how to get the glass window to miss the roll bars in order to access the engine?

Did you have to buy a replacement frame? I thought if you want to install a top on a 3-ribbed framed car, you need to purchase a 4-ribbed frame?
'Appreciate the clarification!

I'm not sure what the OP did but it looks like he chose one of the few aftermarket options now available that have glass windows that go directly on the 3 ribbed frames of the 1997-2002 cars that originally had plastic rear windows. The glass window is a bit smaller than the original plastic window and some say the access to the engine compartment through the top is a bit more difficult, others say it's fine.
