Default Rear plastic window material

Does anybody know where I can possible get the plastic/viynl material from the rear window?

I'm planning to just cut out the broken window I have and just replace the plastic piece alone. I'm hoping this would be a cheap and temporary fix for my rear window. Right now it has tape running across it, and it looks like crap.

i dun think you can do that....cz i have the same problem, i have researched a lot, but we cant do that....the only way that i doubt whether or not we can do is take out the plactic window part by the zipper from inside of your top. but some people say we cant do that either. i have tape on my window now as well..

You can buy a new window. Cheaper than a complete top but still a fair amount of labor. Look here. Item 6. About $175.00 http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/j...=SOFT+TOP+CLOTH

Why can't I do this?

I'm doing this as just a temporary solution untill i purchase a whole new top this summer.

I'm just goin to cut out the broken plastic window, replace it with some clear plastic/viynl material. It'll be held im some place with some heavy duty adhesive. This will look a lot better then tape across the window.

also, you cant take out the window by just unzipping the zipper. I WISH it were that easy.

I'm planning on getting a new top with the glass window. For the amount of work required to switch out the windows, I might as well replace the whole top.

For now, I just need to know where I can get that plastic material. Or something similar..(clear/bendable/some what thick)

I've looked all around local stores(home depot, lowes, etc) and can't find anything suitable.

Check with automotive/boating/rv supply stores and businesses that do re-upholstry etc. A cheap plastic seat cover might work if their cheap enough and you can find them.
