ok, i am going to put a glass rear window in my convertible. the top is perfect, except the plastic rear window pulled out. the previous owner used black tape to put it up there, but that is only a temp thing.

i just spent a hour or so cutting a stiff piece of cardboard and using 3" masking tape to hold it in. you CAN have a solid piece of glass there, athough it must either be slightly smaller, or fold somewhere. ive chosen to make mine a bit smaller.

tomarrow i plan to have a glass cutter make me a window in the same shape as the cardboard....


there is only one prob.

i have no idea how anyone mounts a solid piece of glass to a top.

does anyone know? im searching on google but coming up empty. i need to know exactly how they mount a glass window to a cloth top.

it would be great if i knew how the OEMs did it too... i would like this to last awhile.

any help would be great.

 

my friends vert has a corvette glass window in it i believe, i can go over later today and try to take some pictures of it if you want. BTW its an 88 iroc vert just like mine

 

that would be great

any other info, hints, tips or whatever that he has, please let me know too...

 

i have a glass window in mine and also has the rear defrost lines i just havnt hooked it up. i ordered my top that way off of a website cost me like 350 for the top and 350 for installation but it works awsome just have to be a little more carful with it not to mention it doesnt turn yellow in a few years. and looks alot better its also smaller its the same size as the newer 4th gen tops. the web site is www.topsonline.com

 

Holy crap! Amazing price!!!!

For both of my tops I paid $600, and $100 for installation!!
