Default Rear window

Just yesterday I was working on my 1988 k5 blazer and when I was done I closed the driver door...normaly, not slaming the door. Anyway as soon as the door closed I heard a huge crash and when I looked back I saw my rear window had shattered into a million pieces. Long story short I was not very happy...anyone know where I can get another window without spending an arm and a leg? I was also thinking of making one out of plexiglass. I'd glue or bolt it to the sash and then tint it.

The junkyards around here don't have anything good anymore, they started scrapping their stuff when the price of scrap was really high. I found out yesterday that my buddy has a friend thats parting out a 1989 blazer and he says he can get me the glass for $30. I just wish I knew why this happened so it doesnt happen again.
