...oh, and if you break it, King Motorsports sells a replacement window kit for around $400.

You could get a plexi window for much less from somewhere else. I doubt the Mugen is all that different.

The 400$ Mugen rear window also comes with all new OEM weather stripping I believe. Its not just 400$ for the window.

I would say to remove it you would have to pull something through those two bottom holes on the weather stripping, or just kick it out like your gonna steal a car

I think you just need to lift the weather stripping and pop the thing out from the inside.. I'm not quite sure how the bodyshop removed mine, but it wasn't their first time. (they have painted a few other local mugen tops as well). I was there to watch the reinstallation of the top though. They used the uber JDM Mugen string that comes with the hardtop in order to compress the weather stripping and put the window back in.
