Just happen to notice today that there are 2 tops on ebay, I believe one black, one tan, without glass. You might be get an upholstery shop to swap windows and save some $$. Just a thought.

Sorry to hear. I too would have it replaced rather than repaired. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your situation. This is the one thing I've always worried about in making car choices.

"Let's not forget the other criminals on the Ravens - Jamal Lewis and Corey Fuller - a team of criminals in a city of criminals."

You guys are not alone. In Portland Oregon we have the Jailblazers.[ Trailblaizers] I have met 4 of them in person over the past few years, have NOTHING nice to say about those 4 guys. No, I won't go into details on a public forum, they have BIG lawyers and huge resources that they keep busy sanitising everthing and I don't want to be on their personal hit list. If you just look at the public criminal records, you can see they just keep getting caught with pot and other drugs, running **** fighting in their million dollar houses [I assume chickens] and other crimes. Owner is real winner too. Instead of using his Micro$haft billions, he filed bankruptcy on the building his team plays in so the taxpayers can pick up the tab. The team does have a 'token' nice guy, Scotty Pippen, who seems to be a genuine OK fellow. As for the rest of them,
What do you expect from the metro area that brought Tanya Harding to Olympic Ice Skating?????

For affordability, I agree with the post on 'boat shop' repair. Some of those guys are really good! Otherwise, just get it replaced.

Now is your chance to get a custom top done. There are many colors to choose from. I have a navy blue Vet with a Navy top. It looks really good. Just a thought seeing that your going to have to buy a top anyway.

Speaking of which, did anyone happen to see the Kerbeck Chevrolet commercials during the Barrett-Jackson Auction on the Speed channel last month? They showed a new C6 convertible in Silver with the new gray top - sweet!!!!! Sorry to get off topic.
