Hello! Just did a quick search and this looks promising:

Although, I'd also wait for a few more responses and compare them to find the right choice.
Good Luck!

WET SAND! in several stages and Get a high speed buffer ($90) and a HEAVY CUT compound to start and work your way up to a finer polish.... IT's WORK!

Re: any way to make these clear agian?
You could go to the local autozone or advance auto and get a headlight cleaning kit, or a bottle of mcguire's headlight protectant for about 6 bucks and give it a shot. It should make a difference in the clarity, and might be enough to save you from having to put all the time and effort into doing a wet-sand job.

replacement glass ttops are readily available at junk-yards and cost about $40/set or less. If it's not in your budget right now, it's probably worth saving up for them.

- Sand smooth as described above.
- Use rattle can enamel to cover (gloss black is always good.)
- Enjoy until t-top money flows your way.

I painted mine with SEMS trim black after sanding and am very happy with the results.
