Rear Window Zipper

[plrgpr]

Got back from a ride yesterday and a top corner of the rear window was hanging in the well, zipper is now completely shot. The top is absolutely like new. I see as the only option to replace the zipper is remove the top. I’m assuming a lot of expense involved with that. I’m thinking of getting a large needle and strong thread and sewing it shut????

You are right. Replacing the zipper or the rear window are almost as expensive and time consuming as putting on a new top. You can check with a local upholstery shop to see if they have any tricks but I would put the top up (not quite all the way to relieve the tension) and then sew it by hand.

Thanks for the input Dave. That’s what I’m going to do!
