Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
I am working on a frame kit system to repair the problem of the glue issue on the rear convertible windows. This kit, once complete, will only take about 15 minutes to fix the rear window issue and does not require removing or replacing the convertible top.
I expect each kit to cost between 150 to 200 each. Before we start creating a test kit I wanted to reach out and see how many people would be interested in such a fix kit? Thanks in advance. Respond to this tread if you are interested. |

Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
Is this going to be just a jig to help re-glue the window, or a permanent fix like adding an inner pocket around the window ?

Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
Here is more info:
Right now we have a professional engineer doing a cad drawing of the final assembly. What we are planning to create is a heavy duty plastic frame kit for the window. It will involve 2 pieces that fit together with a few screws to create a permanent frame fix on the window. This will be waterproof and permanent and should only take a few minutes to actually install. Once we have the mockup done I will provide pictures here. P.S. It will not require removing the roof! |
Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
I came up with asimilar fix, but probably will not chase it if your works.

I should be able to get the demo done this weekend. |
Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
The CAD model for the frame is almost complete. We have two or three different ideas on how this frame will fit/work. So far it looks good! I will have more updates shortly.

Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
Great ,count me in .
as well as glue letting go in a few places my canvas has shrunk back away from the bottom of the window about half an inch , its probably common in hot climates. maybe make the frame be wide enough to cover this ? also i would paint my rear window frame silver ...like the windshield . hmmmm |

Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
I'd be interested. Would like to be preventative rather then reactive

Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
If you don't have the extended warranty, NO relief. I'm interested in hearing more about the permanent fix that does not require removing the top.

Re: Convertible Rear Window Fix Kit
waiting to hear more with pictures
