Do I have glass T-tops?

How do I know if my T-Tops are glass or not? They're the original on the car. They've got scratches all over them so I want to replace them. Can I use T-tops from any other Camaro or do I need to stick with the 90-92 year range? Or should I just buy some new ones? Where?

You can tell the difference between Lexan and Glass.
Lexan is lighter and just plain isnt glass.
Lexan is better!

You can usually find them on Ebay, or at your local junk yard.

Have you checked the classifieds here?

I was under the impression that the Lexan tops would get cracks afetr being over exposed to the sun. I was told that the glass tops were the ones to get because of durability and appearance; although heavier.

I've checked the classified ads but most don't say wether or not they're glass or not. I probably wouldn't buy from them just
because of the risks involved with breakage from shipping. So which ones are better? Won't I need a key to lock/unlock the tops? or can a locksmith fit it with my curent key?
