Default Soft top hard window?

Does anybody know if a hard (glass/plexiglass) rear window is available for a standard soft top? I love my soft top, but rolling up that rear window just destroys the clarity, and my elastic straps are all stretched out, so the roll hangs down 1/3 of the way anyways! So I was thinking it would be great to somehow have a hard rear window that just swung inside and up out of the way.

I'm not aware of a product like that on that market, but it's an interesting concept. However, it would need to disconnect easily to accommodate folding the top all the way back.

^^^ Totally agree. Wondering if it could be made just like the factory window with zippers. So it could still be unzipped from each side then just swing up and in??

Ask jscherb about this! He's actually created a safari style hard top that is beyond amazing! He does this stuff as a hobbie and I'm betting he'd have ideas/suggestions on this. Sounds very interesting!

That's a nice looking top! Might have to upgrade.
