Glass is more durable than plastic. Plastic is a porous material, which means with absorbs moisture and contaminants. Plastic will also deteriorate when exposed to sunlight. Basically a plastic window would turn yellow and become brittle after only a few years, where a glass window will remain clear and strong for a very long time.
Plastic scratches over time and decreases visibility. Glass in side windows and back glass is tempered for safety (breaks into small cubes) more durable to the elements. Plastic will break with sharp, jagged pieces. Windshield is a laminate with a plastic sheet between two panes of glass to help hold the pieces in place in case of accident. EDIT: In most states in the US, it is illegal, for above reasons, to replace a broken car windshield with plastic. Most plastics will also dull and color in the sun; glass won't.

You need to remove the vent window assembly to remove and replace the door glass
Replacing the glass windows placed on steel garage doors is a pretty easy undertaking. Thin plastic lips hold the pain of glass in place. Use a putty knife to gently pry these plastic lips off and then gently remove the glass panel. Most hardware stores can cut a pane of glass or Plexiglas to the size you need. Once you have the new glass, insert it in the panel, sealing it with a thin bead of caulk around the edges. Then reattach the lips using liquid cement.
