Most professionals refuse to replace only the cracked plastic windows. It only makes sense if your canvas is still in good condition and you prefer originality. I removed the rear part of my RST a few years back and took it to a local upholsterer who sewed in new plastics. This way I managed to keep my original canvas and extended my soft top life by several years, maybe even decades.

You can find my writeup here. Good luck!



New vinyl windows. Observe Renolit Flexiglas logo in the main window lower left corner.
