Default Z280 Port Lights

Hi all,
My 99 Z280 that has 4 ventilating, eliptical, port lights in the cabin. The smoked-grey plastic lenses are all showing signs of age, they are all cracking where the dogs tie them down to seal the lenses to the frames.
I contacted the company (Bowmar- Pompanette) that originally manufactured them and was told that they no longer make replacement lenses for this series (Gray Series with 4" separation between the hinges). P.S. They still make replacement lenses for the series with 2" separation between the hinges. Does anyone know where I can find replacement lenses with 4" separation between the hinges so I don't have to replace the entire assembly including the frame at a cost of ~ $400 per assembly?

    I'll snap a few pics once the shrink wrap is removed.

    I found a picture of the port light in the gallery. Mine are cracking where the dogs cinch them down. I'll take some close ups of the port light once the shrink wrap is cut off.

    Same exact lights I had in my 98 Monterey 262. For the life of me I can't remember where I got them (had the same problem as you) but I replaced all 4 f them just 2 or 3 years ago. If I find the info, I'll PM you.
