I have seen a few vendors that offer a one-piece acrylic or glass top that replaces original t-tops - check Mid America, Eckler's, etc.
If your T-tops are leaking, you should first try identifying the leak source and/or replacing the weatherstripping (unless your primary objective is to get a single piece top).

Don't do it, especially from Thompsons.
1st question, where do you store it when you remove it, won't fit inside the car. Don't want to leave it home in case it rains.

Mr. Mojo - 2 things.....
1 - I have one and it fits inside my car, of course my car is not filled up with speakers and such behind the seats......
2 - Why doesn't this post belong here?

I'm interested in knowing why you are negative on these tops as well. I'm a bit taller than average and was considering one for the extra "top end". What problems are you aware of regarding Thompson's or any other one piece tops? Thanks.

I had the pleasure of owning one for 9 months. I was also able to fit it in the back even with a sub box. It did prevent leaks but added to the wind noise factor. At the 9 month mark it just snapped in half while I was holding it from one side. Oh well it was only money :(

Prior to going to the paint shop my astro top had been on the car for more than a year with zero problems. A lot of people knock these tops, but many of them have never owned one.

Well I was shopping for one as my t-tops leak, and I Corvette Central had one of those. But then I called them to see if it will fit in the back and they were like yeah. So I asked them what the's measurements as I want to be 100% sure b4 I ordered it and the guy was like oh I have no idea. SO needless to say i didn't buy it. I don't think it will fit in the back as the t-tops sit on top of one another and in the back and the other one I just don't think would fit right. :skep:
