I would just call them and ask, it was awhile back for me and it was similar situation but different car and I had the car broke into and they cut the top and then keyed the plastic window.
They replaced the window with a nicer tinted window and sewed the rip to where you could not tell (well from 1 foot or so away).
I think I paid about $300.00 or so, but you also have three other options:
- GAHH Top with Glass -------- $1500.00 (approx)
- GAHH Top with Plastic ------- $700.00 (approx)
- Duct Tape ---------------------- $5.00 (approx)
Ok the last one was a joke, trying to bring a little humor to a bad situation.
If it can be done the guys at Bascom can do it.

I just called them and some guy named Brett quoted me $900 installed for plastic and $2000 installed for glass. Yikes!! I didn't think it would cost that much? Anyone have anwhere else that may be able to do it cheaper? Or any other suggestions would greatly help. Thanks a lot.

Or use the 3rd option for now  I know CJ has that problem for awhile but not sure if he get the plastic fix already.
*If you are going to use Travis 3rd option, It is called Silver Racing Stripes (SRS) not duct tape

Did you tell Brett that all you wanted was for them to sew in a new plastic window?
Those prices quoted were for a new top, and I might add not bad at all for a new top installed.
