Unhappy Driver side T-top grows wings

Ok just got my car back from a new clutch install. Going 60 to 65, I hear a whistle. Look up the T-top is shaking. By the time i can reach up its gone. I'm gonna look for it tomorrow, but i have a few questions.
About how much to replace just the glass?
How much for the whole show?
What years will fit?
I think i might just try a junk yard (not many around here).

Hmm if they took it off at the shop hold em accountable for it. A single t-top should be in the $200 range

You can't get just the glass,all one piece. GM it's 4-500$
If you can find someone to get employee cost it's like 240$
Junkyards around here wanted from $100-250

GM wants $500 ea, they go on Ebay from time to time for $250-300. That website looks like a pretty good deal - assuming you don't have time to wait for one to pop up on Ebay, I'd go for that one!

PS - did you at least get to see if flutter around as it launched like 100 feet in the air?

If you go back and find it and the only thing wrong is that the glass is shattered I'll buy it from you.
I'm serious.
