Did original verts come with a glass window or plastic window?

[sunil6784]

Just like the title says. I am getting ready to replace my top, and the installer said that the original top on these cars came with a glass window, and mine is a plastic rear window. Just out of curiosity as to why/if the original owner changed the top or window.

Original is glass as far as I know. Plastic replacement windows are cheaper to purcahse and bend a little so they don't shatter if you put the top down wrong. That being said, I have a glass window and I haven't experienced any issues yet.

They all came with a glass window but the origional owner probably had the top replaced once and went the cheap route. I had mine replaced in 97 and it cost me just over $1000. From the factory my price 25% discount was like $800 for the main part and $1200 for the window section and I'd have to install it. I imagine the origional owner didn't want to pony up the cash, no pun intended.

Originally they call came with the glass window.

Damn tops are expensive it cost me $800 for a top, install and a new glass window. Cheaper than some have paid but still that took a chunk out of my budget.

1200 for my new top.... glad its new though.

New top with tinted plastic window, new weatherstripping, new headliner kit, 950.00 for all installed, but man what a difference.

where did you get a tinted plastic window?

Every order sheet i've ever seen has listed the plastic window as standard and a glass window as an upgrade option.

The glass was included in a commonly ordered package, so virtually all verts came with glass.

 

[wythors]

All Fox and newer verts came with glass rear windows.

i'd still like to know where to get the tinted plastic

where did you get a tinted plastic window?

This is the one I bought. Very nice quality. Not made until ordered so its not boxed up long to develop a lot of creases. Comes with the tinted back plastic window. The tint is 30% I beleive. I am very happy with it.

My 84 GT came with glass, I had a bussiness about 10 years ago, I sold a friend of mine a new back glass with with curtain, saved him $1,000 from what the dealer was going to charge.
