Default 71 Convertible top plastic window

Anybody know where I can buy a soft plastic window for a 71 vette. Top is like new but the window is finished. GM, Eckler, Zip nolonger seem to sell just the window.l

Talk to someone that does boat canvas. The tops themselves ar relatively inexpensive ( around $190.00) and not that hard to put on if you can't find anyone to do it. The tough part is attaching it. I had the same problem (mine was full of holes!) and wasn't ready to do a top, so I used contact cement to glue it on. Definitely bubba, but it kept water out!

I knew a guy that had an upholstery shop sew in a window in his 72 Vette. It wasn't show standard but it served the pupose. Craig
