How do you install a convertible sebring rear window? I just need something,like a sheet made of clear vinyl or something like that to replace the rear window with.Would Velcro work?

There are many possible causes of this problem on the convertible Sebrings, the most common problems are as follows;

1) The cargo platform in the trunk is in the wrong position which blocks the rear window from folding downward. Ensure that the cargo platform is in the down position before attempting to operate the top.
2) The Hydraulic pump is low on fluid, it is located in the trunk, in the left rear corner, underneath the carpet. Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir.
3) There is an electrical fault in the system.
4) There is physical damage to one of the panel pivots, inspect for panel binding while the top is moving.

A couple questions for you;

When the top stops moving can you still hear the pump running or does it go quiet?

When the top stops moving does the cluster display "convertible top in operation" or "convertible top malfunction" or something else?

Report back with anything you find or if you need further help.

yes there are holes. the holes are on both sides of the back window. climb in back seat and look under the back window on the side rear quarter panel inside you will one on each side

If you need a manual, you need a factory manual. Aftermarket manuals seldom address the convertible top.
Convertible tops seldom leak till they are 5-6 yrars old unless the material is defective.
Your problem is probably weatherstrips.
Either they are damaged or out of place.
Door window adjustment will also cause a leak at the weatherstrip.
If the water is in the rear of the car, you probably have plugged drains.
Convertibles leak at the rear from new. there is a gutter that directs the water to drain holes near the rear wheels. If the drains get plugged, the water will seep into the rear carpet or trunk.
Solution...clear the drains.

Your window is not attached to the top material.
Both the top and the window are attached directly to the frame.
You can get instructions for this procedure on DVD at this link.

the correct method is the heat as it is heat welded in place using a micro wave process ( the same process as welding plastic tarps etc)
anything else will be strickly short term and will fail when it is really pouring down
to see if the quote is reasonable ring other shops and get quotes from them
I would expect that what has been quoted would be in the ball park figure of other quotes

The window can be replaced just go to a foreign car used auto parts or junkyard or go to your nearest dealer for your car and have it done.
