I recently purchased a 95 Celica GT convertible...after a stormy windy day I noticed water was getting into the car so I took it into the garage and put the top down to vacum out the water...only to hear the sound of a crack.
An after market glass replacement is over $225 with shipping which is a little expensive to me just for the glass so I was opting for a vinyl replacement curtain which goes for around $120. I noticed the factory curtain is sewn into the top...Has anyone every replaced these or has any other options for me? thanks |

suck it up and spend the cash on the glass. or you will wish you had... after a few weeks the visibility on the clear vinyl deteriorates fast after a year you wont be able to see through it.

I was thinking that, but I would kill myself if I were to break it again.
