Nice. I bet being able to look through the back window is a lot easier. When I replaced my top (on a calypso cabrio) I decided to go with a smoked rear window. Clear looks nice also :up:

[318driver]

smoked??? where did you get it from. how much was it?
my dad has been doing custom interior and convertable tops for almost 30yrs now, and thats him in the pics doin it.

Well, I went to a local Auto Upholstry shop and they charged 600 for the top and 500 for install. Over all result = :up:



The top is 1.5 years old.

yea, that looks real sick. i was just talking to my dad about it, and he told me all about it. i wish he had told me before he ordered my top. He also said its not DOT approved. idk. i think it looks real sick tho

Thanks. I wanted to get a zip out window but the shop that installed it said it was impossible to custom make one. I know some cars came with it as an option. What does your dad think? Can it be done?

Thanks

Also, when I close my passanger door, the front window catches on the lip of the top. I have to either roll the window down than up again or if I am outside, pull the lip of the top back so the window will go back into place. Can that be adjusted?

[318driver]

he wanted me to get the zip in window too. but he said that there are only certain brands that make it. Mine is made by gahh and he talked to them when ordering it and they dont make a zipin. Thats probably the same brand as your top because the company is from cali also. do you know the brand or yours?

[318driver]

my passenger door is bad like that too. are cars are pretty similar lol. i just talked to my dad and this is what he says as far as adjusting goes

you can adjust the side of the top over the front windows by adjusting the allen screw located on the cross-brace at each qtr panel of the top (rt and lft of rear seat by your head...it will raise or lower the side rail rubber over the front door windows

hope this helps

Thanks very much ;) . It is only 10:15 on the west coast. I tried to see if there was a brand name stamped on the rear window but I just looked and I couldnt find one.
