Default Glass Top Question??

Just need some diection here please. I have an '81 with solid tops and have 1 passenger side 78-80 glass top. It is marked with "blue" and "laminated". It is like brand new in all ways but does have one long scratch in it. I have searched and posted for a match but have not come up with anything. I know this top is not the "correct" one for my year but that really doesn't bother me that much. Should I keep searching or should I offer it for sale and put that money towards a set. I really need the head room plus I like the looks of the glass tops instead of the solid ones.
Thanks

they are out there (blue tint) sooner or later you will find one on ebay. they dont make them new anymore. I bought a used set of mirrored ones of ebay after my son cracked my passenger side (600.00) I then sold drivers side for 300.00
