Default 1951 Convertible rear window

I am wondering if anybody is reproducing the '49 - '51 convertible rear window frames? My '51 came without a top, and I thought at one time the frames were being reproduced but I may be wrong. Any advice gratefully received. TIA

In 1951, the rear window was a full isinglass window that was sewn
into a canvas edge. 1949 and 1950 had a smaller metal frame with real glass.
You can google photos to see the difference.

I don't know of anyone
reproducing the frame.

The 1951 Mercury convertible continued to have the glass rear window with metal frame.
