Okay, so I've decided that I'm going to replace my rear curtain on my 73 since the glass window literally fell out when I was washing the car.
I'm going to attempt to replace the curtain myself since it doesn't look too terribly bad to do. If I get lost I can always take it to the local shop who quoted me 4 hours at $85 per hour.
I have a couple of questions. When looking for a replacement rear curtain how do I know which one to buy?

This is going to sound silly but how do I know if this Kee rear curtain will work with my top? I don't think it's the original top on the car now. Is there some magical way I can tell the manufacture of my top? Can't they just all be universal like a headlight bulb? ::huh:::
Also they come in various colors. I believe my curtain is all black but it's a white top. Does this make sense?
CJ's has the curtains on sale (20% off) through tomorrow so I'd like to make a decision soon to save some money that can go for other Mustang parts!
Thanks for any and all advice!

Scott:
Hello, the KEE covertible top glass window curtains that you list, will those work with any convertible top or just KEE brand? I don't know who manufactured my top.
Also, what's the difference between these two products?

Welcome Scott! Your request has been directed to our support team. Please wait for an operator to answer your call.
Thank you for contacting CJ Pony Parts! My name is Josh and I will be helping you today.
Josh: I'm working on this for you. I will be back with you in just a moment.
Scott: okay, thanks Josh
Josh: kee glass will work with most manufactures tops. as for the difference in the parts one is a vinyl top the other is a cloth material
Scott: ah, for the rear curtain, either vinyl or cloth material. Not really the top but the rear curtain correct? So if I'm not sure of the manufacturer of my top the KEE one should work right? It has a zipper along the top.
Josh: Kee states that their glass works with "most" manufactures. so unless you know who made yours and could verify with kee. It should work
Scott: I really appreciate that info. Any recommendation on cloth or vinyl?
Josh: Personally i like how cloth looks and feels. with that in mind, i do know that it is more maintenance to a cloth top.
Scott: The rear curtain is hidden by the top right? So any differences if you can't really see it, except from inside?
Josh: i believe some small portions of the curtain do show. not 100% sure though
Scott: Okay, thanks again Josh. Don't those windows get broken during shipment now and then?
Josh: i sure hope not@

I went online and chatted with CJ's support regarding these two tops. Here's the conversation:Okay, so I've decided that I'm going to replace my rear curtain on my 73 since the glass window literally fell out when I was washing the car.
