Thumbs up convertible top questions

I have a '92 Z28 Convertible and the top isn't in the greatest condition (not my fault, bought it used). I was wondering if anyone knows of any place I could get a replacement and if I could get glass instead of the plastic, it just scratches and clouds up way to easily. That's about it, thanks for your replies.

You can look in the phone book for convertible top shops. Here in Minnesota I called one and he told me $800 installed. And no, you cant get a glass rear window. The way our top folds down, the rear window folds right in the middle of the plastic rear window. Besides have you ever seen a fourth gens rear convertible window glass? Its soo tiny. I think Id rather have the large lightweight plastic window rather than a heavy small glass window. Just my opinion.
