If mine were plastic it would make putting the top up and down much easier.
The zipper on my rear windows is very stiff, I've tried several means of
lubrication and it's much, much easier than it was but it's still not easy
for my arthritic fingers..

Are you supporting the weight of the window with your other hand when unzipping?
I used to have a BSP glass window that zipped real easy, but you still had to
support the window to avoid strain on the zipper.
