broken hatch...

so i had nothing to do today, decided to remove my hatch, sand down the metal trim around it (got a few rust spots) and then repaint it. Got all done, looked great and went to put it back on, and it broke. Like the whole glass shattered, and now i'm screwed. How much am I looking at to get new glass for it, and can i use my original decklid? What alternatives do i have? man i'm pissed...

I think it got hung up on something while i was lowering it in. I'm gonna check junkyards for another hatch, but there are like zero thirgens in my area, no idea why. I'm thinking about that lexon glass or whatever its called.
