    Hi All,
    Looking to put the top down for the first time with a glass rear window.

    Is there anything special to know about to do this right????

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Roll all windows down, undo latches, make sure nothing is in the top well bag, press button and watch that top folds evenly as it goes down. Enjoy the new experience, nothing like a convrtible !!!

    Thanx, just wanted to cover my bases.

    I had recalled hearing somewhere that unzipping a glass rear window was required on some cars, otherwise you could risk breaking it.

    This happened to me once before I realized the previous owner had installed a top without the proper wire guides which guide the glass window into the well. The guides are heavy wire that are shaped in a semi-circle and index into flat metal clips attached to the glass window.
    On another convert I had also had to unzip the rear window for the same reason. Proceed with caution Dan
