Well, I already broke it.

The top was down for a couple of days (in the garage), and I went to put it back up. Cold temperatures (~5C) + stiff 40 mil plastic rear window and you can guess what happened.

And the top was only a few years old!

Sucks to have to add something new to the "fix or replace" list before you've even crossed anything else off.
