I had mine fixed on Long Island. Bartons did it. It was 600 and it took one day. dropped it off in the morning and picked it up at night. That is where the local stealerships bring it.

You could buy a complete used top with a glass window and unbolt the old top and bolt in the used top. 3 bolts on each side. The trannies and motors are the same.

If only it were that simple... or cheap. Buying a whole top like that probably costs north of $3k.

I bet it ain't cheap... probably not even close enough to the cost of a shop installing an aftermarket glass window top to be considered competitive.

One could call/email and ask.
