hi wally
you could alway get new glass cut, try any of the big glass mobs obrians in bribane would cut glass for my safaries when i said it was for a caravan.
as they would not cut glass less than the current adr standed for windscreens but side windows should't be a prob.
ended up getting my safaries glass from roy instead.

The old glass CANNOT be polished or buffed.

You have to get new glass cut to size
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

he can get the glass from pilkintons in melb (they do the windows for ford)
