I considered the vinyl replacement... maybe removing the top myself... bring it in... having a new piece sewn in. From the prices I've seen here thus far... $350-$450, depending upon if the vendor removes the top.
I just found this... and tomorrow will check to see how much would be the install. I like the glass.. don't have to worry about fading... chemicals on the vinyl... it's a smaller window... and it's heated.

I'll keep looking for that little plug, thank you.
