Convertible top

[Fred Sacks <fredsacks@domain.elided>]

Well, it's just lovely here in the Philadelphia area.  Went outside 
today, 0 degrees, -15 wind chill.  I accidently hit the rear window 
with my brief case,  just a light touch really,  and the rear window 
cracked.  A nice "Y" pattern on the drivers side.

The window wasn't in great shape to begin with as the PO must have 
put his dog on the back shelf, as the window in looked like it was 
scratched at pretty often.  I guess it was just a matter of time.

The details:

89 Graduate (vynal top) in otherwise perfect condition. 30k miles

1) Can the window alone be replaced, as the rest of the top is in 
pretty good condition.

2) I've never replaced a top, and I know that there have been other 
threads on this, but is it doable in the garage once the weather 
changes.  (The taped window will have to do for now.) I do have the 
IAP manual and it looks time consuming, but not that difficult.

3) I don't want to start a debate, but there is quite a bit of 
difference in price between the IAP and Carribou prices.  I'd be 
interested in knowing the experiences of those of you out there that 
have used either these suppliers or any other.  While I never skimp 
in any way when it comes to my baby, ei: synthetic oil changes every 
3K miles...Panasport wheels etc., I don't want to waste $ either.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
