Replacing 2001 Cabrio (GL) soft top advice

I do not know much about replacing soft tops on cars. I would probably ask someone for help. I looked up if a hard top is possible on a Cabrio and it seems very difficult or impossible on my model.

What are the best soft tops to buy? I would prefer the "cheapest," yet still reputable quality. In addition, would I have to replace the rear window? The black adhesive on the back seems reusable.

Any other advice is welcome.
