I have lexan ones in, for obvious reasons, don't like em, the creak n make noise and the drivers side bubbled up to a dome due to my helmet pushing on it as the track in July heat. But at least they won't shatter when you launch the car. |

that's a thought personally I don't like glass everytime erica's car hits a bump I feel like I'm gonna be covered in glass, glass rattles so damn much, I feel lexan, while flawed, is a bit safer my view towards t-tops is that they're like tires, eventually you have to get a new set |

I love my glass tops. I can see out of them. With new weatherstripping my car is tite as he'll. No creaking. And they will not break under normal use. Even in a hail storm they didn't break. Mine r 27 years old. No need to change.

Should have quoted that on to jerry. I know the weight thing. I don't worry about that to much. I still have my spare tire. Edited by duke, Sep 13 2011, 04:36 PM.
