I Went to the Dealership
The dealer replaced the plastic windows on my soft top, but I didn't have to pay for it. They did a beautiful job. See the before and after pictures in this thread.
Do you need to replace the whole top or just the plastic windows?

Soft top fix
Thanks for the response. The plastic windows are the issue, the material is fine. I guess I will try asking for replacing just the windows.
Thanks again for your response.

I checked with a reputable top/interior shop last week on replacing my rear windows. I was told that the entire back panel had to be replaced, not just the plastic. He said I was looking at $800 for the rear panel. He said I might as well replace the entire top (of course) for $2,200. The top is in good shape except for the windows. Am I being fed a line?
Thanks
Thanks
