Well, it seems to include the windshield frame, glass, the attachment buckles and interior mirror.

It appears to be in decent shape comparing it to the 3 tops we have. It looks like you can actually see through the Plexiglas. Ours are all so fogged. Looks like lots of bits and bobs that are needed to use it are there, The price is way too high though.

Anyone tried painting the window with automotive clearcoat? I did, Sanded, mostly to give the clear a better chance of adhering. No need to remove scratches, including the sanding scratches. Worked better, and had better longevity than I had expected. Works great, but does nothing to minimize internal faults. The clearocat does a great job of filling imperfections and lifting the crazing.

That is an interesting approach, Bill. I remember you writing about that at the time, although I had forgotten all about it. It makes me think about products designed for refinishing headlight covers. I know there are all kinds of them out there, but I remember seeing this video from Eastwood and thinking that was a relatively expensive, but likely more durable approach. Give the scarcity of good hardtop windows, this might be worth a try.
