Replacement back window glass

Hey friends!

Does anyone know of a good place to order a replacement back window for a ‘93 GMC G3500 Vandura bus?

My dumb ass backed into something (in the parking lot of a glass shop, ironically) and smashed ours out. The glass shop isn’t sure if it’s a piece they can get.

Before anyone recommends it, we are not interested in deleting the window or covering it over with sheet metal for cosmetic reasons. Thanks though. Just looking for a replacement window.

those are flat windows, any reputable auto-glass shop should be able to make those. if the bus biody is a brand still in business like blueburd or thomas you can probably get an OEM glass if you like

What are the dimensions. I have the 2 I took out of mine. Maybe one would work for you.
I'm surprised the shop couldn't cut one, let alone order one.

Ah crap, posted this thread and then forgot about it.

The window is approximately 21”x21” and yeah we visited several glass shops and they won’t touch it. They said it has to be “DOT glass”
