Default 89 coupe tops question

so, i just got my 89 and it came with 3 tops, painted, smoke tint, and blue tint, question is, the blue tint one is cracked on the drivers front corner, maybe about 2 inches in is it fixable or should it be cut up and tossed?

Oh no, don't toss it! Yes it can be fixed, there are several companies that can replace the lense, but it is in the $700 range.

I am buying a top with a cracked lense, and i will probably have a clear wrap put on until i can get it fixed.

It's also good for a spare. Fix the crack and paint it to match the body color.

I believe since it's the 'BLUE' that's cracked it probably/maybe the OE/GM. I'd check the SPID label for option and then on the drivers side rail front I'd look for the VIN Derivative to confirm that.

The VIN Derivative would be 1K....... Following the K would be the last of the VIN. SPID if 'blue' was OE is 24S.
