Default Seeking 2002 LTD glass/window specs & replacement adivce

I'm a long-time lurker of the forums who finally found a reason to register, albeit not under the greatest of circumstances.

My 2002 Limited Edition was broken into last night, and I now need to have my rear passenger window replaced. Not having been through this with the PT before, I figured I should play it safe and seek some answers and advice beforehand

First, does anyone happen to know the specs for the window (manufacturer/style) in question? With a bit of Googling and searching the forum, I was able to find this information for the 2003 models, but nothing as far as the 2002's are concerned.

Secondly, since I will likely go the standard route of having the work done at an auto glass shop as opposed to the stealerhsip, are there any precautions I need to take when choosing one in order to make sure the replacement window matches the original, both style and colour/tint-wise? Likely just first-time replacement fears, but I just want to make sure I don't somehow end up with two completely different coloured windows on either side of the car.

Thanks in advance for any assistance or suggestions provided.

If you go to the dreaded "stealership"--you will be able to get genuine OEM form/fit/function glass for your vehicle.

You can have it installed where every you chose.

Of course if you go to an indy/3rd party and chose a third party supplier; it is possible that your new non-OEM glass might kind of/sort of be exactly the same form, fit and function as originally installed.

If you do not have security/tinted glass your possible issues are greately reduced.

I live in a rather small community, some 59,000 residents, and just had the pleasure of getting the backlite glass replaced on my 2008. We have a small shop so all glass work is subleted--the "Dealership" flat rate is $65.00/hr and the indy glass shop flat rate is $76.00/hr. Neither shop charges for "cure time".
