Hi,

I too find a glass rear window appealing, but am concerned about the GAHH top. It's interesting to hear of an installer so adamantly against them.

IIRC, putting the Top in the Service position is not merely inconvenient. I believe we had either GAHH or a distributor (CabrioWorld?) post a msg. here indicating that a mechanic would need to dismantle the top slightly to access the engine top and that it would add approx. $50 to a service.

That may be of little concern to someone who doesn't work on their own car, but for those who do, like me, adding $50 to change a $20 Air Filter, check the Power Steering Fluid, and such is pretty much a deal breaker.

It will be interesting to watch and see how this develops. But, I would have no qualms in replacing the vinyl window with another one at all since my top is down 99.9% of the time anyway, and since the original vinyl window is now on year 8 and still doing OK...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
