You couldn't put the OE glass window (02-03) into the (00-01) because it folds differently. You would need to replace the full frame as well as the top and the glass is slightly bigger and not interchangeable

contact Hardtopguy for a more detailed answer

Look at the size of the opening,in a top with a plastic window,and compare it to the size of a glass window.
Glass window is much smaller.
You cannot fill a big hole,with a a small glass window.

Well, if you just get a plastic window and treat it with 303 once in a while. it wont break, because it will remain too soft and supple to break. This is your cheap fix. But with this treatment, my 4 1/2 year '01 plastic rear indow is still as soft, supple and clear as the day it was new.

Thanks,
Richard
