I have a 90 gt ragtop myself and needed the rear glass so i was looking too. I found a good used on near home . Look for 5.0 mustang and super fords magazine. I found what looked like nice products in them. Try to avoid the really cheap ones from discount magazines. I have found them usually to be poorer in quality and fit. Im not talking about rag tops but most things. If you intend to keep the cara little more money should make you happpier in the long run. Good luck.

I am in the middle of my roof replacement now. You will need the front glass pulled. Rear hatch and most of the interior pulled also. Its a matter of drilling lots of spot welds. You can get a spot weld drill bit at a bodyshop supply store. You will have to use a used section as oem were discontinued. You will need to find the factory seams on the a and c pillars. Grind the paint away and melt the lead with a heat gun or small propane torch. This will expose three or four spot welds and a solid weld. Then take a putty knife and get it hot with a heat gun or torch and slide it between the inner panel in the center and front of the roof section. There is a anti vibration material between the two. Any other questions give me a pm.
