T-Top Glass swap? My neighbor shot a rock from his riding lawn mower this morning and broke the glass. 
I found a Top at a junk yard for $100 and was hoping to just change out the glass. I like having a key that works both tops.... Any one know how to or how hard it would be to change the glass....? Thanks.

Good stuff. I just thought the frame on my top would be in better shape. The new used one is older.... Didn't think of changing out the lock. Thanks.

I feel your pain with buying a new T-top. When i first got my car i had to replace the windshield. The guys who did my windshield must have taken the tops of for easy instal but never put the back on right. i didn't drive the car for a few days after that because it rained, but when i finally took it out i went for a little cruise and both tops flew about 50 feet in the air an shattered. I was so pissed because i couldnt even prove that the ******* never but them on right.
