I have never seen anyone post that they were able to successfully replace the plastic without changing the top itself. There are some products that can restore the plastic back to a somewhat better condition.
I just replaced the whole top and converted it to a glass top. But I had a rather ratty white vinyl top and I wanted a black cloth top instead. Not easy, but problem permanently solved.

plastic window
Any good upholostry shop can sew a new plastic window in for you.
Can usually get it done for aroond 75 to 100 dollars, with you doing the R&R on the top. Im at the same point as you with my current top. I want to find a piece of tinted plastic window and sew that in.
BTW.... If you decide to sew in a new window, when taking the top off, DO NOT cut out the old window. The new window is sewn in next to it, then the old window is trimmed out.
Good Luck
