My New Top -- '99 with Glass Window

[pidj]

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.
