Paul, I concur you should just get a new one. I bought a replacement transparent top for my '95 at Melrose. Gave them my old one (it was a replacement in its own right, made out of Lexan, not Polycarbonate, and had cracked). They required it as a trade in because they could reuse the frame (also was a replacement, but an OEM one, with no serial number on it). The one I got from Melrose also had no serial number on it--it is illegal to add or change a serial number. Had a good experience with Melrose and you can just drive to them. And cash gets you a discount--at least it got me one. Can't recall what I paid but it was in the neighborhood of $600-$650 I think. As an added incentive, the owner owns and displays one of the Morrison cars--at least he did when I bought my top in 2013.

If you use Thompson, you need to order the factory replacement or rebuilt unit.
Those use a GM frame with similar Glass.
They are equal in quality to the original, as well as Melrose.

Gentlemen!

Just wanted to acknowledge the replies! I'm taking notes as this goes on (for a while more). Thanks for the guidance so far. I was really at "square one" on this one.

I highly suggest Melrose.. one on my car I got from them in 2008.. no issues
