Default replacement polycarbonate glass top for JDM crx

I found these images from an old website that no longer exists (themightnight something or other.com)





Does anyone know of anyone that does or can produce these anymore?

Tips for someone attempting to do this?

Before any asks the question, yes I have a glass top CRX but the glass is shattered and the reason it shattered is because i have stiff suspension and a roll bar that caused the body flex to move high enough on the pillars to cause the window sealant bond to weaken on a hot day and it flew off on the highway into the ditch and shattered.

I'm not currently considering replacing the glass with another OEM glass unit unless I were to find one for a reasonable price, at this point I'm ready to move on to something that I can install and use a rubber seal with a latching system on the inside for extra strength and security.

You can see the damage here:

Edit: found a guy in the UK that makes the replacement piece:

if you cant find one. a glass shop can make you one out of poly/plexi/acrylic etc anything you want. glass shops can do anything.

or buy a sheet of poly. lay it on vehicle or mold and heat up with a heat gun without burning it. iv made sunroofs plugs like that

Yup! That would look nice in for that lol...
Plus there's bronze tint out there if you still want that jdm look for your replacement glass.
I have bronze tint on mine but it's nothing like the bronze glass but it is noticeable
