My CJ7 Jeep plastic windows had lot of scratches and such on them. I had some luck using headlight lens restorer and an oribtal buffer on them. I went over them several passes like i was polishing it.
Hi 1bdvet,
Where can you get the conversion kit to go from vinyl to glass? I have a 1990 Convertible and Corvette Central and Zip Corvette no longer offer the support kit to put in a glass rear window. So, if you know of someone that does, that would be great news to pass along to the Forum.

Sorry, you might ask Chevy dealership in your area, who does there upholstery work, cause there Techs don't do it, and then go ask them about the conversion kit, and if knows how to do it would be big plus cause done wrong will crack the glass.
If he don't know ask who might there should be other shops.
Thanks for the link for the conversion support kit for a rear glass window in a C4 that originally came with the vinyl rear window. So, in addition, the wiring is already there for the rear defogger on a Convertible (1986-1993)? I would've thought GM would have saved $$ by not running any wiring to the back for a rear defogger on a ragtop since it has the vinyl clear window.

Optional hardtop. Cheaper to have one wiring harness cover two options, than two harnesses covering two options.
Yo might try a local marine canvas shop. They might be able to sew a new window in there. There's a good product called Sea-to-Klear that sprays restorative oils onto the plastic to restore the chemicals that the sun destroys. I've used it on my boat for years, and it makes those plastic windows nice and soft. I doubt it will cure your condition... that's just too far gone, but it would be worth seeing if a canvas shop might be able to help you. They have access to different thicknesses and even tint shades for that as well. Of course, you'll have to remove the entire top and leave it with them, while they work on it.
Good luck!
