Hello and . For an aftermarket rear window on eBay it is the ADM ones that seem to be the most recommended and the best fit. Did mine last year, easy to do as long as the stitching holding the zip to the hood is in a good state.

@Eddie Zedder that's exactly why I have a zip in I have no use for. I ordered it on the word of the PO that the stitching was in good condition but when the car finally got here it was so rotted that the material around the zipper was also gone in some places. I intended on changing the top colour so wasn't too broken about it. Unfortunetly the aftermarket only does sewn in windows. Have my new top just waiting for spring to come around again!! JIM

Welcome from Canada! Does the window you have with the car have a zip in window? If not then the hood has been replaced by an aftermarket at some point as no one I'm aware of does a zip in as original. It sounds like the new window is a sew in type and you would likely need to remove your hood to get it stitched in properly. If you are ready for a new hood this is probably your best option. If you have a zip in window you can purchase a replacement from Germany that several members here have used. About £80 plus shipping I think. They sell all the time through eBay so should be able to find them easily. PM ME if you have a zip in as I have one in the UK I have no use for as I've bought a new top for my car with a stitched in window. Good luck! JIM

do you still have this window?

do you still have this window?

Yes, it's somewhere in the UK as Sean hasn't told me where he's moved to. I'll see if I can get hold of him this week sometime as he has a bunch of other parts to ship me! JIM

Welcome from basingstoke, hampshire. I replaced my roof as my back window had been torn away completely. £200 for a whole new roof and she looks brand new too! Great job done!

A great deal on the complete hood @Shortie_gal Glad it worked out for you. I'm giving my zip in to @BMBabe for her birthday this Friday. JIM
