Title: Soft top repairs
Post by: sgo70 on May 16, 2006, 03:30:15 PM

Anyone know where to get a side window replaced, or is it cheaper to order a new one. I think it was about $65 US.
Or has anyone ever tried to do ot themselves????

just another question on this.  If you buy a new window does it come with all the zipper parts?  I have one side window missing the zipper head and right now have safety pins to hold it in place.  lol

Try a sewing shop, you might be surprised what part bins they have. I solved zipper problems with replacement parts this way.

I tried the sewing shops and none seem to have a big enough head for it.  Maybe I'll figure out a wat to replace the one zipper.  I wonder how much that would cost..lol
