My, quite big, BSP glass window used the OEM half of the zipper in
my 1996 top, and I had no problems for five years zipping it up
and down on average, say, twice a day. It was fine when I
replaced the top with a 1999+ no zip one.

A zip-down window might not be a bad idea in the desert, though.
I had overheating problems running the AC on Route 66, and
additional natural air circulation would have been welcome.
