Yes. Be aware the the 02 and 03 ap1s have glass too. Others will know more about how big a job it is. My sense is that it is a fairly big job and that if your top is showing its age it might make sense to replace top entirely rather than replacing just the window.

It might be possible, but be aware the plastic rear window is MUCH bigger than the glass rear window so be aware you'll need extra material to cover where the plastic window used to be, might even be better to replace with another plastic window or replace the top altogether.

I'd investigate just replacing the vinyl window with another vinyl window if (1) the rest of the roof is in good shape and (2) you can install one withOUT removing the roof from the car. We're seeing leaks from indifferent roof replacements.

Not sure if your window is similar.
