Does any one have a vert top with the glass back window in it? I need to replace my top and was looking at he one from tops on line with the glass window. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards

you realize that a glass window doesn't work for 3rd gen convertibles....when the top folds down it creases right thru the center of the window, and everybody knows glass isn't bendable...

 

Sorry NOT true.

I have the glass window top from TopsOnLine.

Works great.

The ONLY issue I have is that it will not go down or come up easily unless the rear seat back is unlatched.

The rear window is a shade smaller than stock, but you get used to it quickly especially since you can actually see out of it.....

A quick search will show there are several others with that Top.....

one example

 

i have been proved wrong...how much did that cost you i'm interested, i need a new window badly

 

did you have to get a new top or was the new window just put into the old one? my top is in great condition just needs a window...

 

whole new top.....talked with several shops in the area and they ALL recommended saving my money and getting a new top.


the labor would be the same either way. new one or new window

Originally asked about having new window sewn in cause top was basically OK.
'

 

I've priced them at Topsonline.com with installation to be around 1700-1900K.

This would be my next tax return.

 

screw that lol...there's an upholstery place in my county that said they'd put a new top on with labor for about $600

 

getting screwed there somewhere....

Top with glass: 399
Installed with some repair to the frame: 275

Pleasure at seeing out rear window: Priceless




NO WAY it should run you that much unless you are going to a dealership.....

 

i wouldn't mind getting the name of the shop/company you went to that was that cheap

 

Guys name is Gary Gray and he has a shop in Richardson TX.....

But a long way to come from Missouri

 

that's true...just to save a hundred or so, prolly pay that much on gas to get me there and back

 

hey send me a picture of that glass window...i wanna see just how much smaller it is than the plastic ones. i'm really considering getting glass instead of a new plastic one. thanks alot. if you can't link it on here email it to me at studcamaro91@yahoo.com

 

go to this link and scroll down to the pictures.....the closest one is a standard top....the furthest one is with the glass.....

 

don't see the link...

 

and hey is this a good deal or not?

a brand new black canvas top with glass window for $399.00 on ebay. made by EZ on Auto Top Co.

looks like a great top, has somewhat of a tint to the glass...

is that a good deal considering i'd have to get someone to install it for me?

 

Yeah, I think I did some bad math. I don't know why I came up with a quote that high.

 

That would be the same top I bought....

Bought it from TopsOnLine but it IS an EZ On top......


Same price....


Check out the shipping charges....and don;t pay OVER the 399



One thing to do tho'

Measure your top side to side at the rear of the window.....make sure the new one is the same size...there were/are 2 different sizes.....

Actually calling Tops on line and talking to the owner MAY be your best bet...he's a great guy to work with and won't steer you wrong..
Can;t remember his name since it's been 2 years since I bought mine

 

yea topsonline.com...saw it on ebay today...that's cool you're an owner of one of them...so seriously do you like it alot? can i see a picture of it on the car possibly? i'm probably going to be getting one from that site maybe this week or next i'm just looking for a shop to put it on for me and a place that might give me some kind of warranty using another company's product...that might not happen though. who knows...but ya could you send me a picture to studcamaro91@yahoo.com thanks alot!

 

OK


Click on this link...I put some pics on my website for you to look at......

Car is dirty hasn't been washed in @ 4 weeks......was busy putting on headers, catback and replacing my valve stem guides ....then we started a project of hardwood floors in the den & kitchen so the garage is FULL of furniture and the house is a mess.....

 

looks great...i take it you're pretty happy with the new top?

i think i'm going to go ahead and order me one, just gotta find someone to put it on for me

 

yes I'm happy with it.....just the minor irritation of the backseat unlatched......

 

do they mean you can't have the back seats latched at ALL when the top is up, or just when you're putting it up/down?

 

wait that's a stupid question...lol

of coarse it's only when you're putting it up and down...nevermind

 

Thanks for all your replies, I ordered my new top with the glass back window today!!!!!

That's what it's all about........

 

get this i just called this shop on some quotes...$399 for the top on topsonline.com + $300 to have it put on by a local shop= $700

but they said that it's $1,100 to have THEIR top put on lol

i think i'm gonna get the topsonline one with the glass and have it put on...

 

I had the same dilema. When I bought my car the top was in good shape and all weather stripping was fine, but the back window was fogged and coming unstitched.

I checked several places. They all said that it was possible to get just the window done but it woulc cost the same for removal and replacement of the top because the top had to come off for the window change...

In the end I just went with a whole new top.
