Yup, it finally happened this weekend. Ripped rear window
The weather was gorgeous this weekend. Dropped the town around noon and began my errands. When I arrived at my friend's house, he asked what was wrong with my top. Goosebumps started popping up and I instinctly said "oh, it's creased, it would straighten out." When I got out of the car and examined it closer, I saw the infamous tear due to "Not Chopping" on a cooler day. I was devastated. Just received my bonus and I was really hoping to drop it on a new sets of wheels.
Secretly, I was hoping it would rip but not until next May b/c I would love to get the glass window and a new color top. My car is white/beige and I think it would look so nice with a tan top. At any rate, thinking of applying some clear rubber cement to last me this winter. Any other recommendations? BTW, please don't forget to chop this fall/winter. I know it's a pain when you're at a red light but a tear is such a damper on any mood.

The magazine says it was good but I don't know if the ebay offer is from the same company.
Either way if it is available in the UK for this money it should be possible wherever you are.

Teammagill-
I believe he is referring to the motion you use to put a crease in the back plastic window. don't do it and you have random creases everywhere. But shouldn't you park the car top up as much as possible to increase top longevity?
I think!!!
Happy motoring,

My top ripped yesterday. I have an appointment with the Porsche dealer on Monday. Does anyone know if it will be covered by warranty? It just ripped in the up/down operation of the top, no outside forces did it.
