Taking advantage of this post... I bought two rear windows tinted to substite my two clear but they are fixed and bigger.

I intend to cut them to the correct size.

Do you think it is possible? I think so, probably they came from the same manufacturing line.

what do you think about?
Thanks

Check the screws when you fit the catch on cos looking at the picture it seems like the glass has shattered from the screw, indicated by the greater concentration of the broken pieces

Not sure. Is there any way of telling?

Thought as much, if you don't get sorted I know someone who might have some spares.
Will ask him when I see him later today
