I'm coming down the home stretch of a hardtop restoration project. I made a decision to replace the plexiglass. Can anyone suggest/recommend where to get a replacement window. I usually buy from LIC but I didn't see where they offer the window.

thanks,

Try Glassworks or Auto Entech. I have had great luck with Glassworks for my hardtop needs.

I used Glassworks to get my hardtop glass and headliner. Both were top notch..

I mounted my hard top in the garage. I brought it home from the body shop refinished when I had the body off. I sent all the s/s out to be polished and cleaned and/or plated the smaller parts, not the latches. I stripped all the above before I sent it out.

Plexiglas's is toast as the saying goes. By the time I buy the glass, seals, new latch, hdwe. kit, and head liner, I'm probably looking at another $1000.00 for something I'll put back on the garage wall.

I guess the answer is, what does one want to accomplish.

Not trying to take away our friends thread here but nobody said what they paid. I think, I've seen prices in the $400.00 range.

which is correct, plexi or real glass? See alot of both. I have a 59 that is suppose to be all original (yea right) and has real glass in hardtop.

They are OE with Plexiglas. Never heard of glass for the hard tops.

I've never seen a glass hardtop window. Not saying that someone could have done it but I believe that they all left GM with a Plexi-glass window. Dave

Just looked and code on all 3 windowsin Hardtop are AS 4 4-60. Looks like a got a 1960 hardtop for the 59. The more I learn about these matching or my case, not matching # game, the more pissed off I get. Also, it is plexiglass, sure looks like the real deal. Never go to Carlisle to purchase a #'s car with a pocket full of money and a head empty with info.
