Default DFW area soft top replacement

About 4 days ago the glass on my soft top broke, instead of trying to fix just the glass I opted to buy a Robbins top with the plastic rear window. Does anyone know a reputable shop to get my new top put on?

hey will-
consensus is that the plastic glass is a downgrade from the glass window. I’d think twice before installing that set up. Maybe robins will swap you out. Of course it’s your car and your choice. Im in Austin but not even sure of anyone local I’d feel confident recommending.

good luck whichever you route you end up going with, report back on your source on replacement.

best!

The only problem I had with the glass was whoever installed it before I purchased it didn’t do it right causing the glass to shatter when I put the top up. So for the peace of mind I decided that the plastic although it looks worse would make me feel better.
