A vinyl window in a convertible top refers to a flexible, transparent panel made from vinyl material that is integrated into the soft top of a convertible car. This window allows for visibility while maintaining the convertible's sleek design and weather protection. Vinyl windows are typically less expensive than glass options, but they may be less durable and can scratch or cloud over time. They are commonly found in older convertible models and some budget-friendly newer ones.
the convert top motor is in the trunk behind the vinyl top collector or the vinyl top shoot. you cant miss it.
The Camry Solara is a soft top. Soft tops are generally made of cloth or vinyl.
I had to replace mine. it started to coming unsealed and then it got jammed somehow between the backseat and a part of the top and shattered. I replaced it with a vinyl window. i replaced to whole top at the same time because of the difference in age the material. good luck with that
The convertible top, window mechanism (cassette) and more
I would use Lexel or Lepage Extreme for that .
Unlatch the latches at the top of the window, then press the convertible top button down. this button is located near the armrest. If this does not work you must aquire a new convertible top motor. from the trunk, remove hyd. fluid from the conv. top pump, operate top by hand. worked for me for years
Power the window all the way down then hold it for five seconds after its completely down. then power the window all the way up and hold it for an additional five seconds. The convertible top should be up during this window 'reset'.
glue it with clear epoxy
To replace a vinyl window, you will need to measure the existing window opening, purchase a new vinyl window of the same size, remove the old window carefully, and install the new window securely using the manufacturer's instructions.
Vinyl tops should be cared for in a similar way as the rest of your car. They should be cleaned using a gentle car shampoo, but avoid shampoos that improve glossiness. There are also vinyl protectants that can be purchased to preserve the vinyl, just as wax preserves your car.
I wouldn't.
A convertible.
