Default Rag-Top rear window

I pulled the hardtop and put the ragtop up. Of course, the rear window made this funny cracking sound. Can the rear window be replaced? The top is perfect except for the window. Or do I get a new top?

The top will have to be removed to replace the window anyway, so after you pay someone to put the new window in, it probably wouldn't cost much more just to get a new top.

Visit your local upholstery shop(s) and get a quote on replacing the rear window
Probably going to run 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of replacing the top

How is that window made? Is it Eisenglass? I don't know how close you are to the coast, but down here in S Florida there are marine upholstery shops all over that specialize in that kind of repair.
