Won't work on yours. Well maybe but you would have to heat and bend the lexan to get it to wrap around your top. would probably distort the view through the window.

I was thinking about that and how hard it'd be..... distortion isn't soo bad...hell the OE starts with great visibility to begin with. The sides don't need to be perfect...just so u can see a car is there is all you need. Think it'd be way to hard?

to mass produce? not hard.

one off? very hard.

we're looking at about 20 hours of labor and a 4'x8' sheet of lexan.

To be honest I don't think it's worth the effort. Your window looks fine.

I'm not sure how much they cost I can't find a place that sells replacement windows for the mugen top. Thus my struggle, lol

How much would it cost for you to make one?

Not sure, I need to talk to my partner. I need to see if we have any extra lexan.

you still have the rubber seal right?

Looks like the plastic window guys could have an upgrade to lexan available..... mass produce and make some profit.

is the rest of the folding roof the same if its plastic?

you could have a nice little business going if so. critical measurements and your on ur way.
