help replacing convertible top window - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #82059 4 posts Started by match220
My rear window fell out of the convertible top. I have already been looking for a replacement top, and now I'm wondering if I can just get the top by itself and put my window inside the new top. Is this hard? Has anyone done this? Would it be better just to get a new top with a new window?

if you go on ebay you can get a new top with a plastic window or glass

I buy ebay stuff all the time, but I wouldn't buy a convertible top from ebay. Stitching might not be good enough, might tear easy after a couple years in the usual tear spots, or it might not fit well. Thanks though
