Default Window Installer

I finally got a hard top. The instructions say I should have the rear window professionally instaled. I know some of you have hardtops, is there any one you guys would recomend? thanks

Wow, cool beans.

I have the OEM top and it comes "assembled", just had to install the parts that go in the car. If you need help with that I'm sure there are a few people, including myself, who would love to give you a hand.

Unfortunately I know nothing of installing the window. I assume, though, it came with the window? Might be a good idea to have it professionally installed. If it was done wrong and popped out during driving it could cause problems and that's not a good thing

If the you got an aftermarket hardtop such as the VIS I can only think that a windshield/glass shop would be able to install rear window for you. You might just need to call around. Most of us have the OEM top except Tony who has the Mugen top but that came with the window already in it. The hardware install is pretty easy and shouldn't be a problem. The important thing is to make sure you get it perfectly aligned especially with aftermarket parts which can be a problem sometimes i.e. hoods, trunk, hardtops, etc.

Let us know if you need help. Sorry I couldn't be of further assistance of place that I know can install your rear window. Let us know where you get it done. I would love to see your CF hardtop.

Congrats on the hardtop!

I like the HT, I am not sure about that window. You might want to get it tinted by a pro. You know that DIY tinting tends to purple and bubble.
