I just saw one on Ebay, but it is the passenger's side. :( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...090123&r=0&t=0

Are you looking for a glass one?

Ken,
Is your top completely broken out or does it just have a crack? If yours is just cracked, I'm sure that you will have plenty of time to find a blue tint replacement.
If it is completely gone, I have a bronze tint top for the drivers side that I will sell for $100 + shipping. I purchased it for that price about 4 years ago on eBay. It is bronze tint (wrong color) scratched and needs weather strip but it may serve you well until you can find one with the correct blue tint. Most people would not notice the difference in tint color. After you find a suitable replacement, you could sell it.

My car has the blue tint tops like yours and there is a 3" long crack in the drivers side (inner glass). I have kept the bronze top around as a spare just in case!

Miker,

How bad is the scratch in your bronze top. I pulled a bone-head when I was putting away the driver's side bronze tint top to my '80 last month. I dropped it on the corner and broke the glass. If the bronze tint you have isn't scratched too bad, I'd be interested.

My top is just cracked and doesn't leak so I have time to find a replacement but thanks for the offer. The Blue is very hard to find . Found one for $1,600 Bucks but that is a bit PRICEY when you can but a whole new set for less.
