I am having difficulty locating the replacement glass, does anybody know where it can be purchased and if I have to replace the entire thing (hinges, trim, etc) or if I can just replace the glass part.

I have no idea if parts stores would be able to order the hard tops glass rear window, but obviously by all means stop in and check with them too. If you wont miss defrosters, you can easily get a cheap sheet of plexi and mock it up and dremel it to shape, adding on the weather stripping from the broken one with some 3m adhesive. JK Newbie

Called All-star auto glass replacement (could be any third party glass vendor) and they wanted 650. Finally I was able to call in a favor to a glass guy I know and got it done for 375 installed. I looked everywhere and couldn't find a replacement. Don't know why it was so hard. JK Newbie
