gq/gu Ute rear window

Getting ready to cut the rear window in my dual cab, and to avoid it looking silly I'm trying to find either a gq/gu ute rear windscreen, or rear panel with no screen so I can take a stencil. I had planned with a local auto glassie to go around and cut a stencil, but after organising everything and showing up, he told me he didn't have either screen on the shelf. After that tired a few wreckers with no result.


If there is anyone in the brisbane/toowoomba area that can help out, drop me a line, and I'll shout you some beers.

Have a think about using some glass out of canopy. Gives you the option of having a sliding window. And ready made frames and window rubbers.

Yeah, I thought about having a sliding window, but i'd probably prefer to have it solid.

Had thought about templating any shape, but would prefer it be standard Patrol in case the shape I cut looks odd. I know it's not going to be bang on the exact same size, but the glassie is cutting up the piece anyway.

I would still go a window out of the front of a canopy. Had a look at my extra cab ute yesterday working out what I am doing. And the a none sliding window out of a canopy would be so much easier.
