Mid Year Convertible Top Rear Window

I'm Preparing To Replace The Convertible Top On My 65. Can You Buy A Top Assembly With A Glass Rear Window?

I do not think so. It was not a factory option. oWEN

That would sure be nice, but I don't think anyone offers it.

My wife's 2001 BMW vert has a plastic window in it also. The dealer sells a plastic window polish that works suprisingly well. Made my 15 year old plastic window pretty clear.

I can tell you I wanted one when I was replacing the top on my 66 a couple of years ago and had NO luck in locating one.

I also never seen one in person. Best of luck on your quest

Nope - the top won't fold with a solid window.

I Buy Most Of My Stuff From Zip Products. Should I Go To Them For The Top Assembly?

Why not go directly to the manufacturer, AL Knock supplies the tops to almost all the Corvette resellers. You can order one from a number of firms, but most will even ship it to you in the original " Al Knoch " box.

JohnZ is absolutely correct in mentioning that the top won't go down with a plastic window. I had made arrangements with a local upholstery shop to have one sewn in , when we realized it would not permit the top to go down.

I had even experimented with the idea of having the original plastic window replaced with one that would be installed with a zipper so that it could be replaced sometime down the line, but without a window in place, the top could not be stretched correctly.
