91 convert

This past winter's terrific snows(at least on the east coast) caused a portable shelter to collapse over onto the '91 convertible.

It took almost a month for the snow to melt enough to remove the collapsed shelter. When I got it off I saw the tarp over the '91 was sunken in.

To my dismay, I found the rear window busted into little chunks all over the rear shelf. I do not even like to consider how much melted snow got into car. I am in the process of drying it out now.

I can find some sources for replacement tops(which I also need) but all say to re-use existing glass. I have not been able to locate a source for the rear window glass.

Does anyone know where the rear glass can be obtained?

Also can anyone recommend a replacement top?

Thanks,

I have a rear vert glass left over from a top swap. Includes the frame.

$50 plus packing (most important it's professionally done) and shipping (glass is heavy). Need to do the deal ASAP, as I'm about to leave on a trip and won't be back for at least a month or two.

I am interested,

Any Idea on the packing/shipping?

Shipping would have to go to northern VA 221xx zip code.

Thanks,

No clue. Will have to wait until tomorrow when the local UPS store opens.

Stay tuned.

hey, one suggestion i would give is try the junkyards. you can probably find a window there. as for the top they might be pretty bad at the yard but you never know. one of my friends in woodbridge bought a brand new top for his vert, put it on him self, then decided not to drive the car. he now uses the vert for parts, if your interested i can contact him and see if he is willing to sell you the top. he has a username on this webside but rarely logs on. his username is "rx72fast4u"

Hey Unren,

Do you happen to have an e-mail for 'rx72fast4u' ? If he has the top he may also have the window.

Getting stuff from woodbridge means I could pick it up saving packing and shipping.

feel free to PM me with any information.

Thanks,

That would be a better solution for sure. BUT, I'm out of here after Monday. So if you want my rear window you need to confirm by tomorrow as I have no time to run around to get shipping costs estimates after then. I'm gone after that for I don't know how long.

Hey HOZZMAN,

Did you get a chance to check on the shipping - packing?

When you leave town, If you are going from west to east and driving and have room - perhaps you can take it with you and ship it from the out of town location. I know that is a lot of 'ifs' and I only assume shipping is based upon distance.

Just got back from the UPS store.

Packing, because it's glass, is about $50. And shipping, because glass is heavy, is another $50. So $100 to ship it secure.

If you can't make the connection with Hozzman before he leaves, I have a rear vert window with frame as well. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Well in the interim, I bought a piece of Plexiglas, cut it into the approximate shape of the rear window and installed it in the opening.

It took 3 trys of "roping it in" but I got it. It should be good practice for when I get a replacement.

Not sure if it will hold out the weather, but it is tight and at least it will keep the critters out.

I have a lot of work to do on the poor car. This is just one of many tasks.

Thanks,
