1992 Firebird Lexan T-tops

I am remodeling my firebird and I have come accross new pairs of lexan t-tops. Being that they are new in box, and are perfect with no scratches or spiderwebbing or any blemishs at all, I was wondering when I put them on is there anything I could put them on in order to maintain them. My previous t-tops were heavily spiderwebed, and basically white on the top, so I was hoping that I could prevent that with this pair. So if you have any ideas, please inform, Thx. :-D

First off you remodel a house not a firebird

Second, the dealer solution to repair/prevent starring of lexan t-tops was to replace them with glass t-tops

If you somehow got new lexans, Id save those babies for another decade or so when retoration guru's would be willing to trade their wife for a hard to find part

Yes and no

All older models got glass

Most newer models got lexan but a good many went back to the dealer under warranty with hazing or starring t-tops. The dealers usually swapped in glass replacements

Some dealers went ahead and put glass tops in before selling them

I got a lecture from an old salesman who told me how much he hated selling these cars
