Default Broken Glass T-top repair

So, at our Thanksgiving thing here at my house last night, my wife's nephews decided it would be a good idea to start running around my garage.

And... they broke my passenger side T-top in the process.

I checked ecklers' etc, but all they offer is a brand new set of t-tops, right and left side, with the frames. All I want is to replace the glass in the frame I have.
Has anyone had their t-top repaired? Where should I take it or send it?


Thanks

PJ

Sorry about the accident. Those T Tops are expensive. I suggest you give a call to J&D Corvette in Bellflower (Los Angeles area) CA. They have a wherehouse of new and used parts and may be able to help you. Phone 800 838 8353. JDcorvete.com. Good luck.

A local Corvette shop referred me to these folks when the glass tops on my 1982 began separating:

A much different issue than what you are dealing with but I mention because they are very familiar/knowledgeable about the Corvette glass. Never know, they might have an old one. They will at least be able to give you some options.......good luck, Mark

i'm curious. did they offer to pay for it? A lot of people don't take responsibility for their kids actions anymore.

I have a set of m-1131 tops with a broken driver's side top, but no Corvette anymore. PM me if interested.

I did not find out about the breakage until the morning after. The kid was too afraid to tell anyone I guess, so the parents did not know either. But yes, they said they would pay.
