These little covers help keep our rides cool as they really heat up under the sun!
Got one after the repair. Use it everyday at work. Sure it helps.

Did they ever fix the window problem on the later models? I did do a search but didn't see anything.

Here is some info on these tops.As you all know they are on indefinite back order.The tops need to be replaced the quick fix repairs will probably not hold up long.The reason there are no aftermarket tops easily available is that this top has unique plastic retainer trim pieces that hold the top on the frame.Aftermarket top makers cannot duplicate these pieces.Right now whats being done is we can remove the top from the car and send the top to the aftermarket top factory.They take the old top and harvest the trim pieces and the backglass and make a new top with a better bond area design on the glass.The top job comes out very nice and looks completely OEM but with a better glass bond.The only downside is TIME!.The top is gone 2-3 weeks to get done.!Here is some pics.

FOUND!!!! A manufacturer of replacement top for roadster. My window fell out and it's still under warranty. As of today, Chrysler will re-emburse dealers for top if they need to go to aftermarket. This company uses OEM fabric and stats. Check out at this link.
