You are right, I was asking about replacing the plastic window with a new plastic window. There is a zipper all around this window and it looks easy to unzip it.

That's not how it is done. The have to unsew the back piece and put a new one in. It costs about $800-900.

Demonderrick - You should be able to do that.

Are you talking about the Miata? I (and everyone else) can assure you the S2000 has no zipper around the window.

Good question. I think it's so they can sew it in without tons of pressure on it. It'd be much easier to sew a loose piece of fabric in than one streched tight.

I am not sure but I believe the Zipper is on the Top, left and right?

So why can some good installer cut allong the bottom and put another zipper and make it so the rear plastic window could be replaced by zipping it in or out...And along that line why couldnm't some one zip in a glass one if they wanted to risk the damage if someone tried to retract the roof with it installed?
