Thanks... If I remember correctly, it's an Electron top. Their measurements for rear window were way off in the catalog, so I took photos, gave measurements, and we even sent them the old top to show that their window size was not correct in the catalog. Even still... we had to order the top twice, as the first time it was wrong YES!!! I had to pay labor to install and remove the first top. :( I'm only fairly satisfied with the second top, but I think it's the fault of the installer.

Finally, I just tried to put the top down for the very first time, only to find out that the rear-window zipper was installed backwards. In other words, it was made so that the only way to grab the zipper is from the outside of the car... but, of course, that's not possible.

Even if they sent me a new window, that means a whole lot more labor to R&R!!!

What would you do???
