You must have the plastic tops? Mine were hazy, and the outer layer was blistering and separating/peeling. One of them was all checked having that broken safety glass look. They looked like crap, and it's from old age and sun damage. I tried making them look better by wet sanding and buffing them. It helped a little, but they still looked crappy. I finally "fixed" them by finding a set of glass tops at a swap meet. On a bad day, glass tops will still look better than the plastic ones would on a good day.

I was at the junk yard today and they sold "t" tops for $100.00 each.

They haven't sold any in a long time and they might come off that price. Roy

The glass tops I got at the swap meet were $40 a pair, and nearly perfect. I kick myself now for not buying the other pair he had. I'm sure I could find a convenient place to resell them.
