Hi Tony
If a Glass shop breaks it they replace it!
You break it your out the funds of doing it.
If you have classic insurance they will cover it 100% usually.
More then likely you do not, But If you contact a glass shop make
sure you purchase a new seal and give to them when installing.
Do not use the old crushed original dry seal.
I usually put my own glass in all my VWs But after my Bay Bus front
window ( Broke it 2 times all by my self ) called in the pros and it
was covered by insurance Hagerty and they tossed it in, not a biggie
and no charge.
Live and learn.
