The ones that are mounted on fiberglass shells, it is shocking what the car looks like when you remove one of these. Urethane all over the roof, holes drilled everywhere. And in most cases, if a rear window is broken for any reason, the top and the shell it is mounted to have to come off. All '82-'89 Chrysler Fifth Avenues came from the factory with a fiberglass shell "half top" covering the back of the car, and a rear window relocator (a plastic moulded peice pop riveted to the rear window pinchweld that moved the window for the original Dodge Diplomat/ Plymouth grand Fury position to a more upright stance). The small rear window in the rear doors were covered up inside and out in a similar fashion. (And this was all from the factory) It was nothing more than a "converted" Dodge Diplomat, right off the assembly line. These cars look ridiculous when you take that stuff off to do any kind of upholstery or body work to them.
