Default Sport Back window replacement

Has anyone bought the sportback rear window replacement? I know everyone has different tastes, but its seems like one of those things that could be kind of lame once you get it.

i test drove a formula once that had it. It was very different looking. The cool thing about it that you cant see in the add is that the back window on it unzipps and stores in a compartment under the deck lid. Pair that with the t-tops and it feels like a real roadster. I like the way it looks to but not everyone does.

It is all in the implementation. The concept is viable, and similar to the notchback option of the previous generation.

i think the concept is solid but the design they have ruins the lines on the car for it to work the glass would have to be bigger so it would flow like the original glass so it followed the lines of the car. then it wouldnt look so out of place

I'm pretty sure she was serious. I have a tall friend who fits fine in the back of my car. Better than most new cars anyways.

theres some pics flaoting around.

personally, I like it and the concept of it, but the ones that have it said that the rear window leaks. Not because of bad weather stripping, but the back window isnt heavy enough to seal properly.

Is that with the tops off and their head sticking out? I made one of my 6' tall friends sit back there once and he had to sit across the seats. He wasn't too happy. I also like the concept of the sport back hatch, but it could be better designed.
