(I have build several aquariums out of both glass and Plexi from 5 gals to 450, and I own 4 sailboats (ok, 3 of them are 11 ft 1 is 30 ft) and do repairs for other owners at the marina as a side job. (again, this is the way most sailboat windows are installed, plexi/lexan to fiberglass hull, some form of sealant, I like Butyl, and then some kind of securing fastener, bolts are better, but I've seen screws) The HT should have come with 2 new trim parts with sections of them cut out to accommodate the hard top mounting posts. Remove the left and right plastic trim parts that the seat belt passes through (unbolt the seatbelt base). So yes, plastic window to plastic hard top, I would definitely recommend the bolts!!! Anything you put between the two is just sealant, not a trustworthy glue. Replace them with the stainless latch parts. Now, there are probably many different grades of Butyl, and the stuff I use is probably NOT suited for window installation, so please to some research on your own. You can get it in a tape form at a camper supply (I use it to seal any and all through deck fittings on Sailboats). Butyl is what the industry uses, and it's not that expensive. However, even if the rear window was glass I would still not recommend using Silicone, as it's adherence to the composite hard top is questionable. I only use Silicone to fix plastic to glass if it is not structural. We hToyota MR2 Spyder vehicles for sale that are reported accident free, 2 1-Owner cars, and 18 personal use cars.

Overall, great fit, very light, and relatively inexpensive. The company is based in California, so if you live in NY, it will take a lot longer to arrive. One of the only complications I see is that they can only ship it to a commercial address, so be wary of that. They are made to order and take quite a while to ship. What no other car emulates is price, however. It will reek of resin on the inside of your cabin for while, just FYI. top down, the low sills something that only the Toyota MR2 tries to emulate. Seals are included, but the OEM ones off your soft top will fit perfectly so use those. Not for the faint of heart, drilling and measuring is required for that step. A preshaped lexan rear window is provided, you supply your own bolts and caulking to adhere it. Also, it costs LESS than OEM! The construction and finish is fantastic, and I had no fitment issues whatsoever. There is a fiberglass option as well, but I opted for the cf for the looks and weight savings. As the title suggests, I wanted to make a quick review of the GrA cf top.
