Default glass top

I want to buy a glass (plastic) targa top for my "96. Preferably blue. Where would be a good place to buy one?
I would consider a good used one but probably want to buy a new one.
Thanks
Tom

If used interests you shop 'local' - they DO NOT ship well. If you're shopping used and it was claimed to be an OE/GM there's a couple potential ways to confirm it's age. If it was on a car from factory the VIN Derivative would be on the drivers side rail front edge. The glass bug on the glass should ID it also. If new Melrose is likely the only source that would have the metal molding.

I'm convinced that Melrose is the way to go. My order is in. Now we wait.
Thanks

Melrose doesn't mess around. Ordered it on Monday and it's at my house on Thursday.
