Hi just wondering what you mean by failed?
Have you got central locking and the pump system has failed or some !"£$%%^ has done all your locks?
As smashing a sunroof or window for that matter is a pretty harsh way to get in. Also are your doors de-locked? and or de-handled?

Yeah all the locks went one was done by a screwdriver ( drivers side) passengers side just refused to open then the boot failed on me and wouldnt open:( Was going to smash drivers window but just looked much bigger than a tiny sunroof so I opted for the sunroof.Cheers

Sorry to hear that damn pikey scum.
If it's a sunroof that was factory fit your best bet is to contact your local scrappy, failing that you should be able to source one from a private seller on eBay who are breaking their Polo or a scrappy that also sell through eBay or online.
Next time, if you have breakdown cover with the AA or RAC call them out and they should be able to get you in without any glass smashing as they have 'slim jims' and the like to open doors for those people who manage to lock their cars with the keys still inside.

i know its a bit late mate but would have been better smashing a window like a rear window as there more common and cheaper to get hold of.
but anyway ebay is probably best....also check clubpolo.co.uk forsale section and on here because there area always ppl breaking their polos for parts and im sure they will sell you one.
good luck
