Can you replace a plastic window with glass in 2010 GT Convertible?
This is my first convertible and I really dislike the smaller distorted plastic window. Is it possible to convert to glass? I don't care if rear defrost works or not. The black sailcloth top I have is in excellent condition so I'd rather not replace the entire top unless that's my only option. Thanks!
Not meant to imply you are stupid, asking a question since you didn't post a picture of the actual window, didn't give us much detail, and you said something about the rear defroster. And I would have said the same thing in this instance whether you were male or female.
So no defroster and you added information about the window itself flexing. So someone replaced the top at some point with a cheap version. I believe that the only way to replace the window is to replace the top - they aren't separate units. You do not have a factory installed window.

+1. My 05 vert and now my 14 vert both have glass windows. Your 2010 certainly should, so at some point it was replaced with a cheaper option. My suggestion would be to talk to your dealer and see if they can replace just the window. i would imagine that you would need to replace the whole top though...
I bet the top is original, but somehow the original glass broke and since you said it's flexible they wedged a piece of plex in there instead of replacing the top. I don't think just the glass is replaceable.
You can probably do the same thing and get a new piece installed to clear it up, but the issue will return unless you replace the whole whole top to get back to glass.

I had that happen to me once-I broke the glass window and could not afford a new top. I was able to have a plastic window installed for about $200.00-a new top was about $1,500. The plastic window sucked.
