Default Glass T-Top Crack

Is there any option to repair a crack in glass T-tops? It is about a foot long, but it does not leak, just looks bad. This is on one I'm looking at. If it can't be repaired, can one buy just one T-Top, or does one have to buy both? I have not seen single T-Tops for sale.

One of the Corvette catalogs (I can't remember which ... there are so darn many) offers a glass t-top rebuilding service. Probably your best option.

Is it the drivers side?
Seems like I hear of more drivers side tops breaking than passenger side. Not a big deal. . . just an observation.

Yeah, it is the driver's side. Probably they swacked the release at speed and it shot off or something :)

I noticed Ecklers had something that looked like a rebuilding service, but it was $370 a side, and they said to do both sides. Can an auto glass place heat it up and smooth it?

I tried to get my passenger side top fixed, and all the glass shops said they would need to replace the glass, and that they can't get the glass because it's discontinued.......but Ecklers can get it. Seems strange to me. I just bought a used pair off of another forum member.
