New Top for the Vert.....
Just bought a replacement top from Zip Products. Anyone out there ever replaced theirs. How big a PITA was it. I'm also doing the weather strip at the same time. Wish me Luck. :crazy:

It IS a PITA!
Use the good glue, 3M I think. I started with Mr. Gasket glue, ended up regluing the whole top!
A LOT of spring clamps help keep the fabric in place while the glue dries.
The weatherstripping involves a lot of scraping. Good luck!
ps - I splurged and went with the glass window. :yesnod:

Thanks guys, I knew that someone had to have done this at some time. I printed out the tech tip and it will be a big help. Like I said, wish me luck.
Oh and I stayed with the plastic back window, glass wasn't in my budget at this time.
Here goes nothin'!!!!!
