01Convertible rear windows

Rear window coming away from your convertible top? We put it back.

Lifting at one edge or already fallen out, the window goes back into the top you have. You do not need a whole new top for it, and this is work a lot of shops turn away.

02Why it matters

A loose rear window does not mean the top is finished.

When the window starts to come away, the usual answer is a whole new top. Often the top itself is still sound and the only thing that has failed is where the window meets it. That is the part we fix: the window goes back into your existing top, and the top stays on the car.

Work other shops turn away. People are told it cannot be done, or that the only fix is a new top. Bring it here first.

What you may have been told

  • "You need a whole new top." Not if the top is still sound. The window can go back into the one you have.
  • "Tape it and live with it." An edge that has lifted lets water and wind in at the gap, and it does not close up on its own.
  • "Nobody does that anymore." We do. It is the reason people drive to Monroe for it.
03What we do

Lifting or fallen out, it goes back in

Send a photo first. We will tell you whether the window can go back into your top before you make the drive.

Answers first

Do I need a whole new convertible top?
Often not. If the top itself is still sound, the rear window goes back into the top you already have. If the top is worn out all over, we will say so, and our convertible tops page covers a full replacement.
My rear window has fallen out completely. Can it still go back in?
Yes, that is part of this job, not only a window that has started to lift. Keep the window if you still have it and send us a photo of it and of the top.
Do you come to me?
No. The car comes to the shop at 4209 W Hwy 74 in Monroe, NC. People drive in for this from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, so send photos first and we will tell you what we see before you make the trip.
Can you quote it from photos?
Usually, yes. A photo of the whole rear window and a close one of the edge that has come away, by email or text, is normally enough for an estimate. If we need to see the car in person, we will say so.
Glass or plastic, does it make a difference?
The two fail in different ways. Our guide to glass and plastic rear windows explains the difference. Send a photo and we will tell you what you have.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the car and on what the window and the top around it need, so we will not guess at a number here. The estimate is free and nobody will chase you afterwards.
