Hi
You need to get one cut by a local windscreen cutting firm - the kind that makes tractor/jcb windows, use the old one as a template.
We were quoted £45 in used notes for this locally, it is unlikely that you will find a used one going spare.
Also if the crack is through the middle it suggests the frame surrounding the glass is flexing- if you take a windscreen out you are left with a fairly floppy bit of glassfibre, late cars have the triangular brace along the top to attach soft top and if you check out the pics in the manual there are some rods which fasten to rollbar top corners and top corner of windscreen..
If none of this is in place there is a chance of another crack- you may want to fasten a bit of box section along top of inside of windscreen and run a strut back to the rollbar. Have fun!
