Just wondering if this is repairable...

I am going to guess....no.

 

You could use it as a core to turn in for a refurbished one. Or you could just order the lexan and swap the frame and parts onto the new glass. $75 isn't terrible for the parts, but I would shoot for $50. As it sits now it is unusable.

 

Core-otherwise landfill worthy.

 

Looks like there is some damage to the frame as well. So when you say is this repairable, you only talking about the cracked lens or the frame as well?

 

Only thing I can think of is maybe repairing it and just painting it body color and forget about see through?

 

Looks like it is a member of the "flying roof club" I suspect the frame is tweaked and would not be worth trying to repair.

 

Or something I would want to mess with.

 

If your state and insurance company has free glass coverage no charge for them to replace it. I had mine replaced for free from state farm under free glass breakage.

 

lol, makes me want to go out to the garage and make sure my roof latches are closed

 

That was my first reaction when I looked at the photos.

 

Yea, I'm paranoid about that stuff too. I had a 93 Formula I bought brand new. Had an 89 I bought new before that, you could let the tops unlatched and do 80mph, no problem. Within 2 months of getting the 93, a friend let the passengers top unlatched (worked the latch putting it back in, but didn't have it attached). Went to work the next morning and at about 50 I hear wind noise, look up and about that time, WHOOSH! off goes the T-Top. I about had a heart attack, I watched it fly off into the woods beside the road. Turned around, went back and it hit glass first on edge right into the ground. This is in the mountains in PA, so rocks EVERYwhere. It had rained the night before so the ground was wet. Here's my top stuck 8" deep in the ground, glass first, (had a rubber trim around the glass as a seal), unbroken! The thing must have hit a branch on the way down because the interior trim plastic was smashed, I had to replace that. Otherwise, not a scratch on the glass, no breakage, and I still own that car to this day with that top. (I checked a lot closer from that time forward and NEVER let anyone else install the tops again).

 

The top lens in held on to the frame with the same 3M epoxy that the inner fender and wheel house are. The epoxy cost under $50 and the gun to apply it cost about $60.
I used to see the lens on eBay for around $200 but I'm not sure if they are still available.

I'm going to agree with the others on it being a usable core
I would be curious about how it got that way. My guess is it was a flying top ant who knows what else may have been damaged. It could have been run over by traffic and bent.

Don't ask me how I know about these.
