I believe the glass unzips (not positive though)

What type of warranty did they give you with the car ?
They may cover it (mine was just starting to go out)
on the 99 before I traded it in...
it was dropping hard, and sticking while putting the top up

Couldn't tell you how much the glass will run could be less being a smaller piece, could be more being convertible

I have an account at Southlake Glass (if you need a discount) let me know
(if the warranty does not cover it)

yea knowing my warranty company they most likely wont cover it i sure hope it just zips out i dont feel like payin 500+ for a new top cause that will keep me from gettin thr 555r's for msc

if you end up having to get a new top I would go with the
2004 canvas top :biggthump

(I really doubt it will require that)

A few other things to look into, it could be the hydraulics going for the roof,
I would have it checked out, (before) getting a new window, or get the new window and don't put the top down til the problem is solved.

Sucks to hear that happened man

yea thank god i have a tint or else there would be glass everywhere

If the top is slamming down that hard, chances are there's something wrong in the hydraulics that is causing it. Need to find the problem and fix it so that it won't happen again.

I agree that there has to be something wrong with the hydraulics if it is slamming down. And if there is something wrong with the hydraulics and you still have warranty on the car, then the warranty should cover not only the broken window but replacement hydraulics as well. Check with your warranty company.
