Default My heart tore along with my soft top

After dinner last night I put the down the top and heard a strange tear... yup, you guessed it. Tore the top.

This morning I go out and for sure the top is torn soooo, what better way to motivate and get a hard top. Just placed an order with hardtop guys for a new top $3,000.00. Surely hope it's worth it.

Now I have to start modding, where can I get some tein flex and OEM lip for a good price!?

There's always a up to every down.

looks like he has a 05, so he does have a glass window. however, you'll have to have it sewn into the top on your car (assuming its OEM). on the 00 and 01's, the plastic window zips in to the rest of the top. however, all the tops with a glass window have a sewn in back window.

good luck!

congrats to the OP on the hardtop!

but as stated you would have to get it sewn in, but the OP is keeping his top...where are you going to take it to get it sewn up?
