Default Soft Top Rehab or Replace

Have a (standard through Contemporary?) 3 piece soft top and side windows. The fabric (vinyl?) is in ok shape, but windows are completely yellowed and hazed to the point they are impossible to see out of.

I'm wondering if anyone has had luck rehabilitating the old top. I was thinking a local auto fabric shop could possibly remove and replace the windows.

But it might be easier and no less expensive to just buy a new one if the source still exists.

Anyone of you guys have experience fixing or replacing the top can point me in a good direction?

Thanks!

Before you take it somewhere to have the plastic replaced, buy a headlight polishing kit at the auto parts store and try polishing the plastic window. If you're lucky, you'll be able to make it clear as new by just polishing off the yellow glaze. And, if not, you'll be no worse for wear.

I am pretty sure that Contemporary sourced these from Cobra Restorers of Kennesaw, GA
