American Motors/1976 AMC Matador Window

Question
While I was using my 1976 AMC Matador the driver's side front window wouldn't go up.  This had happened many times before and I did what I always have done and gently attempted to pop it back into place.  Well, that ended badly and the window broke into many many many tiny little peices.

Is there anywhere I can find a replacement window?  I've searched for a while now and haven't come up with anything yet.

Answer
Chip,
You didn't say if you had a coupe or sedan. Either way, call Collier AMC in Pikeville, NC. They are an old AMC dealer and have hundreds of parts cars on their lot, including Matadors. Ask for Mr. Collier and tell them I told you to call. Their number is 919-242-4462.
