Hardtop Plexiglass Replacement
I see many threads and help on completely refurbishing a C1 hardtop, but is it easy to just change out the side plexiglass, or do you have to dismantle the top to replace the glass? Haven't looked at one in decades, but have one coming in a few weeks. Everything looks pretty good except some crazing to the side windows.
Thanks,

I replaced my side windows, wasn’t hard. Got new plexiglass from a glass place (be sure and get correct thickness) and used the old glass for a pattern. Came out great!
