  • Back Window

    I have a convertable with a glass back window, the seal that hold the canvas to the glass has been going for awhile now. I would like to have it either repaired or what I would like is to have the window removed and the same canvas put in place of the window. I am going to be putting in a rear view cam system, that is on all the time, thinking of getting a rearview mirror with the LCD in that. But for now I would like to be able to wash the car without water coming in the window...

        Thank you Larry, you would not happen to know the name of the place? If not I will just cruise by and get it myself. I am set on 86ing the rear window, hope they can help with that.

          Not 100% on this, but im pretty sure you cant legally do that. Odds of getting ticked for it are probably slim, but still.

              Personally I would get it repaired and tint the window.

              I believe as long as you have 2 "working" mirrors that allow you to see behind you in some way you can make it all black. But I also am not 100%

                Really because I can take black spray paint it all the way out... Why can't I remove it... besides I will have a cam on the back that will be on all the time in the place of my reverse mirror, well it is a mirror with inputs for video... Also have two working side mirrors its a sports car, who would have a sports car without two side mirrors? Lol well what I will do is check it out with a few friends that are judges and see if it is legal...

                  I love that idea. I'm with everyone else though - not sure of the legality but awsome thought nonetheless. When my back window gave up I pulled it out and sewed in a sheet of clear RV grade window vinyl. Looks way crapier than the glass rear window but I know the cops won't botter me over it. Plus - I rarly have the top up anyway. I love the rear view camara idea...

                    I found a company that makes the top without the window and it will look as if it came from the factory that way
