Convertible parts question

The rear vinyl window is in very bad shape. Hazy and it's coming apart from the top. Where would i get a new window from? and what am i to expect price wise to get it changed? Also do you think they make it in a tinted style to match my other windows? Any advice would be great thanks!

Rear Window

If it is just the window itself, and the top is in good shape, you can replace just the window. I'd go to your local Dealer and ask them. That's what I did and they sent me to the upholstery shop they use. I went there and they charged me about $500 for a new plastic window, stitched to the existing top. One difference with the OEM version: They did stitch the top, vs gluing it in the OEM.

How much did the place charge you to put in the new window?

Around $500. I did not shop around just went to the place the dealer worked with. I am happy it looks much better.
