Hi, if it's flat, get one cut in laminated glass at a glaziers, especially one that does glass for plant.

Have a look at the rear windows in HGV tractor units. They are often quite small.

What about a Ka, their rear Windows are pretty small. Or a proper Mini.

When i chopped my daimler i left the widow full size but shrunk the surround to get a small window finish. Just modified the frame inside and the interior trim would cover any internal signs.
Could you do the same?

Probably not too easy to find and a bit bubbly if you do, but what about a Fiat 500?  |

Unless you are going to have a rear wiper what about simply cutting a piece of Perspex ? You can always change it for custom cut laminated at a later date.

Based on the original post it's not so much the window that the OP is looking for but the rear panel to weld into the body to fit a window, be it acrylic or glass into.

You can get fibreglass rear window conversion panels for both split and oval style to fit later Beetles.
