On the plus side, it'd be nice to be able to look out through a clear freedom top and see when the light above/front of me is green (I've found that the top is in my way for many lights). I know HappyCurmudgeon has commented on this with me in the past - anyone else?
keep your hood polished and you can watch the light on it.

Out here in Colorado we have lots of really, really sunny days where it's still only 10 degF or colder outside. A tinted panel might be worth something in the winter.

Sorry - that's blasphemy - I run a good layer of mud and filth on my hood, as a result of wheeling my Jeep...

My 'vette has both solid and clear/tinted top. I only put the solid top on for 2 days and its been sitting in my garage ever since. I like the clear top idea... however as was mentioned earlier, I'm not sure I would pay for it with the Jeep. I was lucky that it came with the 'vette. Its bad enough storing the 3 parts of the hard top during the summer, not sure I'd be wanting to store 5 parts.

If the price was right, I'd be at the parts dept ready to go.

I have an '86 Buick Grand National with glass T-tops and I always enjoy the view out the top. My JK is scheduled to be delivered in a few days and I've been thinking that someone should be offering glass panels for the Freedom Top.
