glass window

Is it possible to put a glass window for the rear window and still fold it down. I wouldn't want to down grade in size of a window either. Also i know it has to fold to, but has it been done. I was thinking it would be possible if used the windows of a 1968 shelby mustang convertible,but i don't know.

They make a top that does have a glass window for our cars, but the window opening is significantly smaller for the reason you described- a larger window won't fold down correctly.

I imagine that you could custom fit a 'split' window in the top like some M**tangs and Volkswagens have, but I also imagine that could get a little pricey.

Has a few pics of my 88 sport with the glass window and my son's 88 IROC with the vinyl window.....

In the pic with both, the IROC is closest to the camera
