unfortunately those windows are an arm and a leg to replace. glass and trim are 1 piece. if you find new old stock... they are about $700 per window typically
50resto has replacements much cheaper...but no "mustang" on the glass
they can however be repaired... you need 3m "trim black" and 3m "flexible primer"
with something like 1000 grit....wet sand forever...prime, wet sand, prime (repeat about 100x)
once they look good switch to about 1500 for the last coat or 2, then paint the trim black. remove them from the car first....which can be difficult in itself, the butyl tape makes them hard to get out. dont pry hard or you'll shatter them. USE NEW BUTYL TAPE WHEN U reinstall... or they WILL leak fo sho
good luck
