Why not use the plastic restoring stuff rather than replacing it?

BMW makes a good project for that purpose.

There is a DIY on S2KI on how to replace btw.

Mine has the same problem, I can barely see anything out of the plastic window. I looked into replacing the top myself and it looks like a lot of time+effort (6hr+ w/2 people). So I just bought a hardtop instead

If you have the plastic window you are going to need some extra stuff to convert it to glass because when the top folds it will try to fold the glass and it will smash.

Here's the DIY on s2ki: http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=448840

If you bought the 02+ frame I think you should be ok.
