I hope they listed the scatches in the description or did they say good used condition. Nothing worse then a poor buy. See if you have any recourse to getting your money back.

You don't know how bad I want a pair of lexans. I have an 89, GTA, 20K miles, all original except for the lexan's. The previous owner had them replaced. The worst part about them is their is a seperate key for them. I want to have the key the same as the door and truck locks. I wonder if there is a way I could somehow change the locks or something....

Take it to a dealer or locksmith, they can re-pin the t-top lock cylinder to your existing door key.

The crack sucks...

But you can't blame UPS for all the nicks & dings on the lexan though. Looks like they were hammered to begin with??

That sucks so much man, I'd kick some ***.

i know i didnt care about the normal wear, i just need another set, i was going to make them look good by buffing and to do other stuff to them.

but good gosh, a straight line crack through the whole t-top.

so heck yeah i am blaming the usps, i want my 181 bucks back so i can get another set or something. i bought normal used lexan t-tops, not woops i dropped the box on the ground from 5 feet up that said very fragile on it.

i about to open up a whole case of woop a$$
