Someone sliced my back window and I can either replace the window for 1k or I can buy a top for $500 and try to install it.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Someone sliced my back window and I can either replace the window for 1k or I can buy a top for $500 and try to install it. Seems like it might be easy, but I'm a modest diy'r Anyone do this?

POST 2Original post

I would not recommend replacing a top if you are only a modest DIYer. There is a chance of damaging important components such as the tension bow seal and hydraulic lines if done improperly. Also I think you will find it difficult to calibrate. But if its not your daily driver, and you want a project, go for it!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am a modest one and it sounds out of my league. I just live in the boon docks so no one here can do it either. I think they are actually scared to touch it. All I really need is the back window replaced, it ripped and now it's just open back there. Any ideas for a temp way to close the back window until I can get it fixed? So far I did duck tape and plastic but it just flies off if I go too fast.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you have any idea where I can find a "how to" on this?

POST 5Original post

I'd buy the manual for convertible tops from Pelican, and get familiarized with it first.
