I am looking for a Spice colored driver (right) side soft upper for my
03' Wrangler SE. My plastic window cracked when I went to wipe a
smudge off of it. I learned the hard way not to touch the plastic when
it is below zero degrees outside. I don't want to drop $100 plus on a
replacement set when all I need is one. If anyone has one they want to
get rid of, and it's in good shape, let me know please. Or if anyone
knows where I can find one please let me know.
Thanks!

I have a foot sized star shatter in my rear window and several other
cracks in my 1986 soft top that I repaired successfully with a product
called 'shoe goo' on recommendation from folks here.

My CJ7 windows are roll up and the repairs have all held.

The stuff works great!

I taped the cracks on one side, then applied the goo on the other.  It
has held all this year on a split right where my soft door window folds
down over a metal bar when unzipped and my arm rests there too.

Mike,

   Does it look 'smudgey' or is it pretty clear?

That depends on whether you get the black or the clear color.  I wouldn't
recommend black for soft top windows.  The clear is clear when you put it
on, but once you walk in it, it gets smudgey pretty quick.  For a soft top
window repair, a lot is going to depend on skill of application.

Why would you walk in your windows?

He was being a smart a.s. The walking on the windows is in reference to
'shoo gloo' being primarily intended for shoe repair.

Never.  It does illustrate how tough this stuff is though.  I walk on the
outside of my heels and wear down shoes pretty fast.  It helps a lot.

For "emergency" repair, clear plastic packing tape isn't bad.

Look in the Yellow Pages or whatever you have locally for auto upholstery
shops.  It's not such a hard job to sew in a replacement piece of plastic.

I'll be needing new door skins for the '89 - it's looking like it'll set
me back about $200 for Bestop replacement skins.
