I took mine to an ordinary auto glass shop many years ago, and it worked out
great for me.  Just handed them the old assembly (less stanchions & tenons,
etc.) and let them disassemble (so they could see how it went together) and
reassemble with new glass.  I first asked if they could supply the glass;
then gave them mine after they said "No".  The shop supplied the correct
material to go between the frame and glass.  I believe they have different
filler thicknesses, to accommodate variations in glass thickness.
