The rear glass you are looking for is a deluxe only option and is
wider and taller than that of the early kombi/micros. However it is
the same piece as fitted to the Brazilian Buses made up to 90's.
I also recently read a story about a guy with a coachbuilt VW like a
Romstech or something and it had a one-off windscreen. Anyway this guy
look high and low for a replacement one (his was broken) and he ended
up getting an out-of-the-telephone-book windscreen replacement
specialist make him one for like around $100 - you know one of these
24hour windscreen repair companies.
moral is that, the 23-window back glass is just a flat piece of
toughened auto glass which you should be able to get cut to size by a
local auto glass shop.
