I did one on one of my factory Bugeye hardtops. Slight heat with a propane
torch makes it bendable. Too much makes it goo. ;)

Subject: replacing hardtop rear window

I have a Midget hardtop with a one piece wrap around rear window. The window

is held in place with a rubber moulding. The slot for the hardtop and the 
window are offset, so it looks like the rubber goes on the hardtop first and
then 
pried over the window piece. The window that was there is non existent.

I am thinking of trying to cut and bend a piece of plexiglass. This doesn't 
look like it is going to easy. Everytime I work with thin plexiglass it ends
up 
cracking on me. 

Suggestions?

Do auto glass shops do this work?
