5mm (3/16") and get the spacers too

I would get the 4mm sets too in case the EZ on requires smaller rivets...

I made the switch, but I paid an interior shop to do it. They are pros, and it took them a full 8 hours to get it done. I am very glad I didn't try to do it on my own, it would have been a long, drawn out process.

Before.

After.

Was that a really old before picture? That before picture almost look better than the after picture. I know glass is better but plastic but that plastic window has SO much more visibility than the small glass window. And the old top appear to be in good shape (perhaps there was damage not shown in the pic?). Why the changeover?

Here is why.

Passenger side.

Driver's side.

After.

I suggest you examine the plastic window again, then ask yourself whether or not the plastic window actually gives you more visibility.

check the UTH sticky, there should be a replacing the soft top DIY. I did it myself and with minimal help from a few friends, I finished it in right around 12 hrs - I had to do it twice because I forgot the gutter in the back. DONT forget it, take your time, and dont split the roll hoop plastics.
