Hello Yoginee, If the glass is just inert glass, and if its material properties are forgiving enough, you might also be able to have it printed by shapeways.com: they print in glass, but it won't be transparent (I'm not sure whether your glass needs to be transparent or not). The price to print can be pretty steep, but in my experience (modelling one of those e90 plastic things from a cytospin) the price can still be less than half that of replacement parts.
Good luck getting them molded/printed, and I hope it works for you. I love to see people bypassing expensive replacement/maintainance setups by DIY.
