Wally World sells Corvette tops?

There are some vendors that offer replacement acrylic tops that are adhered to the frame using an adhesive. Try searching the C4 sub forums for something like "replacing acrylic top". BTW, the top is not glass.

There's a few threads on how to do it. Short of it is separate the frame, slice down the glue, apply new urethane sealant. You can reglue the existing lens of you're careful, the lenses start at like 300 bucks.
