LEXAN T-TOPS ????

My driver's side t-top is bubbled up. Has this happened to anyone else? It make a loud wind noise at highway speeds.

Is it possible to get new t-tops cheap? If so, where? I've been looking at used ones that are worse condition than what I have.

thanks

I haven't had any problems with mine or any of the ones that I've worked on bubbling, its not just window tint is it? The only place that I can think of to get a good set of T-Tops is at the junkyard, but I did see a set on Ebay a little while ago. The junkyards are gonna be your best bet though

Jason,

Yards around here were askign $175.00 per pair of glass tops. They were readily available, depending upon the type of retainer mechanism. The Lexan tops are prone to thermal distortion and optical hazing over time. They are considerably lighter than the glass tops, however.
