David,
I think they custom make each top, since I had to wait four weeks to get it. I
had asked them about putting a zipper around the rear window, and the person I
talked to said they wouldn't/couldn't do it. I know they offer it as an option
on other tops they do, so I don't really know what the problem would be. Maybe
I
just wasn't talking to the right person, I did'nt really press the issue, but
it
could be if you talk to someone else there you can get them to do it.
Regards - Bryan
