Default vinyl wrap on glass targa?

01 coupe with glass targa and the tint is starting to chip or flake. wanted to wrap it with vinyl (that's what i do) but my vendor said due to the heat i may damage/crack the glass. has anyone done this and have you had problems? i searched some threads and found it done with good and bad results but mostly just vinyl failure. also i didn't get any info if it was a glass panel or not.
any help would be great
thanks

Good news then, because it's plastic. Definitely won't crack like glass.

I just got mine wrapped last week and the top is an acrylic plastic so it's not going to crack. I got it done in a fake carbon fiber I was going to go with a gloss black to match the car but they guy at the shop said some of the scratches and marks where it started to flake off on the top might show through

I wrapped a targa top with 3M CF wrap, but it was a fiberglass one, not the lexan top. Worked well and looked good.

Hey Jack, do you have any pix of that top? Which 3m wrap did you use?
