Default rear plastic window.. boat upholstry shops?

my rear plastic window was kinda turning yellow so I figured it'd crack soon.. well a few days ago i forgot how cold it was outside and put my top down.. *snap snap snap* ...about 4-5 cracks now..

i was told i can take my boxster to a boat window upholstry place and they could replace my window for around $400-$500... would they do this? and does anyone know where i can find a shop that would do it for maybe a better price in southern cali? thanks

You might consider a glass window top.

Did you have to remove and install the top yourself or was it included in the $400? Or did they do it without removing the top?
