I thought I already answered this. Guy on ebay sells the window for about $150. It has a zipper that will mate with the zipper in the top. You have to debond the sealant between the window and the top gently and probably scrape it off the top. The new window is a pain to zip in, but it will work. The guy supplies contact cement that is a poor replacement for the factory sealant that bonds the window to the top window opening. The factory solution is a strip that is electrically heated and then squeezed between the window and the top with a special tool that fits around the window and the top. No chance of replicating this process. If I was doing this over, I would buy the window material and take the old zipper off the old window and sew it on the new window material. No solution yet for a factory quality seal, but I'm always thinking.
