A friend of mine has a 986 too.
Last winter his water pump went and in the course of the garage fixing it the back clear window cracked.
He went through his insurance and they bought him a complete new top installed.

True story!

Well, your friend obviously wasn't insured by State Farm.
My window was taken out last year by a massive hailstorm, and they gave me a whopping $250 to fix the rear window, plus the phone number for someone who supposedly gave them that price quote of being able to repair it for that cheap.

After 2 months of constant trying to call this mysterious man, I gave up, and bought a top from autotops direct, and my friend and I installed it ourselves in the course of a day.

It wasn't easy, to put it mildly.
But not impossible.

BC.
