Rear window (embeded in the softtop) replacement?

Hi guys,
A Newbie here with 06 S Cabrio.

I got my Mini used and didn't really have the chance to have this tested.

It seems like the window is abrassing w/ the soft-top structure somewhere and making this glass-clinging noise when I drive over the off-road sort of environments.
Does anyone's top+glass have this problem? Any found solutions for it?

Another, which I believe has the impact from the problem above, is that the rear defogger doesn't seem to work. I can only imagine that the abrassion would probably cause the defogger circuit cut off. If so, and I need to replace my rear window, is this gonna cost me a fortune to get it fixed?
Do I have to replace my entire top?

Thanks in advance for the infos that you're about to share!
