We may be able to help you out, are you looking for just the rear window section? or do you need a entire roof?
We have a rear window section in very nice shape.

I always try to buy Canadian whenever possible, and if I know the people, even just from the net, they will get the business. As for the chop top fad, I fave dreamed of doing this since i was just a boy. It hasn't been till now that I bought a bug crappy enough to try it without much concern of ruining it. Bugs are a rarity here in newfoundland, and to find a good one... or one thats for sale is next to impossible.It has been 3 years since I sold mine and bought this one, and I was looking for those 3 years, finally i convinced a friend to sell me his. I should have kept looking :P

if you are very serious about this you  need way more info!!!! plus one more complete donner roof and door sections!!!!.and in order too install a oval clip in a chopped late sedan you need some very good fabrication skills.it is damb near impossible too due without sectioning/distroying the oval section.it involves laying the whole section inward and fabricating a new lower vent section too keep it flowing.check out my car under member,jims chop
trust me there is more too this than its worth,you havent even thought of all the internal fit and finnish, i would never tell anyone not too due something ,because that is how you learn is by doing it.this is a 20 out of 10 on the modification level.my advise is too hit the wrecker and practice on a complete wreck first.`
if you want more detailed info post under my car in members section and i will follow it from there.
good luck,
p.s i'm not trying to turn you off this mod ,but just make you aware its a big job,i dont want too see anyone cut there car too pieces before they have all the info
