Option 1- At $150 Jim’s could do something similar to what flu posted. If that was an option for me I would gladly pay them to do a half decent job of that rather than the hack job i would end up doing. Unfortunately, it’s not an option as there are about 5 or 6 tears in the vinyl around where the back window was.
Option 2- At $250 for installation only, Jim’s could install a new top on the existing frame. A new Robbins top (including rain rail) from gomiata.com currently runs at $519 ($580 including tax and shipping). So, all in I’m looking at $830 for a new top.
Option 3- Bernie’s said that if the zipper is still intacts (which it is) if I brought it in he could check if he has any backwindows parts which are an exact fit with the existing zipper. He quoted me $250 for that. But it seems hella unlikely to work out.
Option 4- Bernie’s quoted me $800 for a new top installed over the existing frame.
Anyways, I’ve survived 10 years without the back window, so maybe i’ll just leave it. only problem is i can no longer garage it all the time and with El Nino coming it might be a wet winter…
