Thanks very much. Recall how much it was part/labor?

Yes. I bought the window (new) from an EBay vendor, who did include
instructions. Deciding that I didn't want to possibly mess up a very
expensive top, I had an upholstery shop do the window. There is a concealed
zipper for the window.

Don't remember well, it was over 5 years ago. When I bought the car, the
plastic rear window had a very noticable crease line that interfered with
vision. Best of memory, the whole thing was in the $300 range. I now also
have a hardtop for the car, which is used in the winter (much larger and
glass rear window). My daughter has a later BMW 3 series convertible, and it
has a glass rear window.
