C1 Hardtop side windows
#2
On the hardtops that I restored, I purchased a sheet of 1/4" plexiglass from glass shop and using the old ones as patterns, cut them out. If your not a hands on guy most any corvette parts dealer have them.

Mine were bad also. Found a plexiglass shop & bought 1/4". Beware, however, that 1/4" plexiglass can vary quite a bit in thickness so be sure to measure it. And be sure you take into account the glass tape thickness.

If you have the hardtop why not take a piece of cardboard or some other stiff material and make a pattern by holding the cardboard against the frame tracing around the inside of the side window frame. Add 1/4" or so to the outside of the outline, cut it out, and see if it fits inside the frame. Keep trimming until it fits and you have your pattern.
