I will assume that you have a glass window ,as opposed to a clear plastic one.
Look for a tiny zipper on the window welting ,on the inside,or a sewin ,in velcro tab .
Some of the window styles will change ,without notice from the manifacturer.
Check with an upholstery shop /a glass shop,they should know this ,and most will be happy to help.
I hope this help's

    I had a reputable shop that replaces and repairs convertible tops replace the clear plastic window in my 1997 Audi Cabriolet. To replace the entire top was around $1,800.00 but the window only cost $500.00. It has worked out great for me.

2007 toyota solara convertible rear window smashed

take the vehicle to an accredited windscreen repairer/ replacer and discuss the problem with them. If it can be done they will have access to the glass and will be able to tell you where to get it fitted if it requires specialist attention.

Rear window boxster

In answer to replacing the Boxster rear window; Yes, very simple; go to your nearest Mercedes dealership and buy any of their models. Your local junk yard may offer you some money for your Boxster, but I doubt it.

How expensive is it to replace an 05 bug rag top?

i've worked on auto upholstery for years and if the rear window is glass and the rubber holding it in place has seperated from the top then the top has shrunk and will have to be replaced . but if the glass and all of the fabric will still proximate then it should be repairable if you can send me a pic of the damage i can better evaluate the problem because a total replacement is between 1500 to 1800 dollars done right my e-mail is [email protected]

How do you install a convertible sebring rear window? I just need something,like a sheet made of clear vinyl or something like that to replace the rear window with.Would Velcro work?

Nope, from my sports-car "roadster" days the rear window is either bonded in between the layers of the top or sewn-in. An auto upholstery or "trim" shop can probably put you in a new window fairly resonably. Velco, glue, etc. and the window will blow-out if you open the door window at speed. The rear-window would be sucked out at high-way speed by the draft behind the top. BTW: I thought Sebrings had real glass rear windows, like alot of "rag-tops" do these days. (back to the Model T's !)
