odd question
I have sort of an odd question-I was wondering if anybody has heard of lightweight T-tops? like if the glass was made of a lighter material like polycarbonite "i think thats what its called, well whatever they call lightweight glass is what im getting at" I thought about this because T-tops are heavy--so anyone got anything?

I have heard of someone making them out of carbon fiber, never actually seen any that were done. Plexiglass ( like what alot of race cars use for windshields ) would probably not work because it is too flexible so much so that I wonder if they would get sucked out of the car at high speeds, not to mention it would be hard to get that to conform to the correct shape.

My '91 came with Lexan T-tops from the factory and they later discontinued them because of being easily scratched and stress fractured.Mine don't look so good on the topside but I can tell they're lighter and bigger than the '02's.

I just weighed mine and they are 12#s a piece. Even if they were extremely light weight we are looking at saving maybe 18#s total so the cost would have to be very reasonable.
Just my .02
Evan at that small amount of savings, I would buy a set if they were fairly priced
