dropped the top this morning to take the shorter yet getting taller person to school... and heard a noise... didn't notice a thing until later today... cool by me... age takes it's toll... my plastic window got old unflexible and cracked... now I get to read all the blogs on the plastic rear window and what fun I get to do next...

other then that.. i also noticed a few wear tears on the top itself.. and... gonna suspect this to be the original top... 149,000 miles is ok... wonder what to get myself for my birthday later this month...

If you want to go glass back window you will have to replace the frame too . The manager at Kuhn collision in Tampa has an OEM soft top(frame less) for an 02 - 03 new , for alot less than getting one from the dealership
