Default C5 vert top replacement

Hi Guys-

Normally visit the C2 forum, but I was hoping to get some advise for my '98 from C5 owners. The heat sealed rear window has seperated from my vert top. Not an unusual problem. My question is what vendor/top have C5 owners used to that they would recommend for a replacement top?

Thanks. Not looking forward to long Western New York winter.

There were several posts awhile back on how to repair the window problem. Try a search on convertible window. It might save you some bucks. I found a pretty good replacement off a wreck about a year ago. It's a simple job to replace the entire unit, if you can find one that matches.
