Default New Convertible Top With GLASS Window Installed Today

My thanks to David at Koncept Motorwurks in Agoura CA for doing such a fantastic job. What a great guy David is, and what a fine business he has built over the last five years.

I’m so glad I decided to take his advice and upgrade, rather than replacing the plastic. Such an improvement to the look and the quality that my C2 deserves!

Why anyone would choose the plastic over the glass is beyond me. Yeah plastic is bigger but it looks so cheap and does not hold up well. Glass also has defrost.
Mind sharing what your cost was?

Yeah I will be tempted by the upgrade to glass if/when my top needs replacement, I polished the plastic but its not that great. What price?

I’ll send both of you a PM. Not sure I should post the price on here. Don’t know the rules.

thats great. Congrats. Did the shop adjust and service all the components before installing the new one? My mechanic told me to leave the car out in the sun for a couple of days to let the top stretch, adjust, settle, etc.
