I know all about pricing stuff, believe me. I've been in charge of projects with million dollar tooling budgets.
I was given a ridiculous price quote once back in the day for replacement safety glass tractor cab windows. I went to the local glass shop with the frame and they made a nice new safety glass pane and installed it for less than it would have cost me to buy a piece of plexiglass, cut it, and put in a crappy plexi window myself! The glass shop was stymied by my request to change from two sliding panes to a single fixed pane, so I found a local tractor cab company and bought some rubber gasket extrusion from them that had the perfect profile and gave that to the glass shop to use. It looked like a factory job when it was all done.
If I couldn't make one, I'd find a used one somewhere. They are out there.
I have gotten volume discounts on glass before too. Probably wouldn't apply to toppers, but I stocked up on several windshields that I knew I'd need and because I bought 6 at one time I got the same discount that actual glass shops usually get!
Back to toppers, again I say there's no way I'd pay $500 for that little window; that's just highway robbery. I'd jerry-rig my own solution if I had to before I'd fork over that sort of dough.
