Rear Glass Vert Top?

Does anyone know who might supply rear glass convertable tops for third gens?

Seems like after awhile after every top replacement the good ol plastic glass always scratches and looks like pooh pooh.... Yea, I have buffed it out, don't really make any difference...
Do they even make em? Does anyone on here have one they could show us?

BlueZee28 has one and loves it! I've spoke to him about a few times, the only difference is that the viewing space is slightly smaller and every time you put the top up or down you have to fold the back seats down.

I've been wanting to get one for quite a while - they are very reasonably priced, it's just getting it installed! I've read the steps to do so and I can't say that I'd be comfortable trying it...

Most on here agree that these guys have the best top for the money!

Re: Rear Glass Vert Top?

I put one in mine a couple years ago and would never go back to the plastic rear window. The topsoneline.com product is very good. Sure you have to unlatch the rear seats when you put it up or down but that little bit of extra effort is more than made up for by having a rear window I can actually see through.

Re: Rear Glass Vert Top?

Great. Thanks for all the responses on this guys I did not see the other posts on the subject. Main problem I have now is figuring out if my top can even be done without special customization as my vert is different than most and is a earlier year model than the tops listed on the site. I don't know if it would work on mine or not. See cluster thread here for more of an explanation as to why I feel that way as little is known about my top that I have:
