Default busted my window yesterday, was 55 out... ugh

I'd put it down dozens of times below 50 and never had a problem, but this time POP goes the 8 inch long gash in the window

bummer, but on the way is a new GAHH top with a glass window

the worst part is I've missed a bunch of nice days to drive it

If it won't rain, you can still drive it.

I just don't trust leaving it in the work parking lot with a huge hole

new top will be here this week, then I tackle the install, fun fun

I drove mine in the rain with a split back window. I even did a few parade laps at Barber Motorsports Park in a torrential downpour.

It was rather nostalgic. Took me back to the old days of leaky convertibles.

I'm really enjoying my new glass window top, though.

the new GAHH glass window top arrived today and boy does it look nice, the entire thing is put together beautifully, the black defroster looks great on the black top

I can take pics before it's on the car if anybody wants, it'll be that way for awhile because I'm busy for the next week

it really does look & feel great though, it's a very nice piece of equipment
