Evan,
Go to TAP plastics if you have one near you. They have two thickness of clear vinyl that will work for replacement. The thinner is easer to use for an old top as it is more fixable and costs only a few dollars for enough to do several windows while the thick stuff sold as window replacement is about 22.00 for only enough for one window and if you make a mistake you are out that much. The thin is the same substance only thinner but very just as strong and very cheap.
Is your present one sewn in or heat pressed around the edges? I have replaced a couple this way for use at least until I can afford a new top. It looks ok at least from a distance :-) If you do have a TAP plastics in your area I will go through what I did to glue the new one in place. Sure know from experience not to use a hot glue gun . . . first hot day and it was coming loose. clear Vinyl repair cement same as used to repair seats and such works.
