Re: DIY glass top repair?
Quote:
Paul, I concur you should just get a new one. I bought a replacement transparent top for my '95 at Melrose. Gave them my old one (it was a replacement in its own right, made out of Lexan, not Polycarbonate, and had cracked). They required it as a trade in because they could reuse the frame (also was a replacement, but an OEM one, with no serial number on it). The one I got from Melrose also had no serial number on it--it is illegal to add or change a serial number. Had a good experience with Melrose and you can just drive to them. And cash gets you a discount--at least it got me one. Can't recall what I paid but it was in the neighborhood of $600-$650 I think. As an added incentive, the owner owns and displays one of the Morrison cars--at least he did when I bought my top in 2013.

Those use a GM frame with similar Glass. They are equal in quality to the original, as well as Melrose.  Marty |

Re: DIY glass top repair?
Gentlemen!
Just wanted to acknowledge the replies! I'm taking notes as this goes on (for a while more). Thanks for the guidance so far. I was really at "square one" on this one.
