Default broken window in wagon - can't replace

Hey all, looking to see if anyone has any suggestions for replacing the driver's side quarter panel window in the x-type station wagon. Apparently it cannot be located in stock anywhere, and on the rare occasions junk yards have a wagon, someone's always got to it before me.

Says wagon rear driver's side, idk, looks different to me

https://www.ebay.com/itm/26645268280...kaAueMEALw_wcB

Safelite where I live says they can replace it. So idk if you've contacted them in your area.

Lastly, try reaching out to member Dr Dome to see if he has one. He parts out X types.

Thanks!
Yeah, that doesn't look round enough. The auto glass places I've talked to initially say yes and then say no because it's curved.

ETA: plus it's encapsulated. They can only do it if they can get one, it's not available from Jaguar or anyone they can reach.

Found a custom shop that is game and/or could replace it with polycarbonate, but it's about $4k

These cars are very rare in USA, but sold reasonably well in Europe. Shipping might be expensive, but worth investigating further? Widen the search to ebay UK? Any overseas forum members got any leads?

HTH, Dave

I may have found one in the UK (and happily, they had a photo to confirm that it looked like the right kind). It required a lot of digging. Fingers crossed.

What did you pay for the glass, and for shipping?

Don't let it escape.

I checked UK breakers and ebay UK when you first posted the question but couldn't find one.
