Cap Window Repair/Replacment

So thanks to some w/e warrior I came out of Home Depot last Sat to be greeted by a stoved in rear passenger side cap window. Now after a week of hearing a succession of "we don't do those" by phone and in person I"m pretty much at a loss at where to go next. (It was made by GemTop for Ford and they say it's obsolete - truck is a 1990 long bed). Has anyone had to deal with this? Haven't tried the junkyards yet but what are the chances one of these is sitting around somewhere unbroken? Thanks for any feedback.

John

Your best bet would a glass shop. I've never seen another topper around like mine.. it would be almost impossible to go that route.

Tried a bunch of those so far and they all have the same problem - getting the curved tempered glass. A few offered to try lexan which may end up being the only option (other than the cardboard that's now in there)
