i got the same headache. a split in the rear window, and i want to convert my top to manual from automaic. short story, its $$$ to get new top, >$800 from all my research. even replacing the rear window requires a whole new top sewn on. its really dumb. i know BMW dealerships sell a kit to convert he ttop to manual or ~$200. but that wont help your window crack

thanks 4 the help. actually, i think you can have a window sewn in 4 about $350.

my top is auto, but i operate it manually and always have. i think there is a selector in the trunk to chose manual or auto. i haven't a clue what mine is on!!!! ooooppps.

these are fun cars to drive and i have had 3 others, however, they are expensive to maintain and don't hold a candle to the Jap cars in the electronics dept.

best of luck.

if you have an E36 the window is zippered in, the E30 cant be changed without sewing it in i think.
