    Does anyone know if the clear plastic panels are repairable? I have one side window that someone knifed and the plastic has split from one corner all the way across. Are there replacement panels?

    I doubt you'll find "replacement panels" for your top, but there's lots of places that make and repair automotive and marine tops and covers. They probably get that plastic in bulk and cut it to fit. I don't know about where you're located though, I just know there's several places here in Denver that advertise top repairs.

    For a quick and dirty repair, try sewing it back together with fishing line. It may look like Frankenstein, but it works!

    It's a K-line top. It seems to be also suffering from snap failure and cracking of the vinyl. Maybe it's time to look for a new top. :rofl:

    Thank you for all of your responses.
