broken glass rear window
ok so my lil brother broke my back window 
not a big deal so i thought went out to local auto dismantlers and got a new window my only problem is no one in so cal (inland empire) will touch it, they said nope cant do it, 10 different shops all they offer me is a new convertable top with new glass 4 1500 or with plastic 4 1450 lol,has anyone had this problem before or have any ideas how to replace it?

Believe it or not, the rear window on an oem top unzips. But you still have to removed the rear tray and plastic that holds the whole top in place. And the zipper is a BITCH...it may even be sealed with a wax or something given how difficult it is to move.

even though the plastic window sucks at least it's replaceable. i have to replace my whole top. i usually go top down anyways but the patch blocking the hole of what used to be a window on my car is annoying. i've just been procrastinating the hell out of doing the top. i do not look forward to ripping all the crap out of the interior to remove/install the new top.
