I have a 1964 Vert and the top is in good condition but due to a cheap rear window being put into it it looks odd. It is plastic window sewn in. Works but looks very strange to me. I am saving money now to replace the top to get it looking really good. The top works fine. Does anyone know what I need to get a new glass window in the cover?

I have bought a vintage piece of glass for it and I have the metal frame. I know there is a wooden bow/frame that goes into the metal frame (don’t have). Is there a seal I do not know about? Does anyone have pictures of the process of installation and the parts. I have never seen one disassembled so any help would be great.

The window rubber and trim. You pretty much covered it wooden bows and the metal frame. I think WW site may have a diagram .
