^ Not only do I like the plastic window more, but I like the 00/01 carpet console too. If I had an 02+ I'd trade my top and console for an earlier year I'm all about raw and don't like amenities in my cars AC is the big exception.

1st time I heard someone say plastic was better

Just skip your next engine mod and get the glass guys So sweet.
tough call for the early ap1 guy(i own a 00)

if you guy getting some hard edge from folding, don't put down the top all the way, get it down 95 percent and stop there.

the plastic can be polished up like new, mine is six years old and it's perfectly clear but of course glass would be better look wise but i think we all could use more visibility.

Sure, I'll agree that a glass window is better than a plastic one, for a number of reasons. Some of us, however, have plastic and don't want to spend the $$$ on a conversion, so the issue becomes how to best preserve the plastic, and make it work right. Also, I'm a short little shrimp, and I have great problems with the decreased visability out of the smaller glass window, whose bottom is a few inches higher than the plastic window. This is just a personal problem, however.

Thanks,
Richard

It's very getto and I taped it up from inside with a duct tape which makes it getto as hell
