Conversion Van Windows

Window was shattered. Can the glass be replaced by a glass shop or do I need to find a replacement? Anyone know how makes these. This was a 1995 Astro, so not sure if they are still available.

similar but not quite identical to my 1995 conversion. mine are similar but not identical to what's available now.

if it's a flat pane, it can be hand-cut for a price. i'd choose a reputable body shop, who would already have the glass connection.

that's a nice looking conversion you have. I'd likely spring whatever it cost to have a flat pane replaced. i do not have a clue what i'd decide to do if i had to replace an entire assembly, with no exact matches available. which is one of the reasons i pay out the nose for comprehensive insurance.
Any decent glass shop can cut you a replacement glass for about $50.
Had one cut for my old 1995 years ago. It cost me $30 back then.
The same windows were used by many different conversion companies, it's not impossible to find them.. However, if you can get a replacement glass it would definitely save time and energy searching.
Looks like the old "rock from the lawnmower" syndrome. Or weed beater.
That is tempered safety glass, can't cut it. The real problem is how to install it, not easy, look it over.
Ask me how I know!!!!

That's what I was getting ready to say, well, just the tempered glass part. The rest I don't know but do believe.
Mine have a brand on a piece of plastic on the lower side, you may be able to find an original replacement but it'll likely be pricey. There were a few different manufacturers, not sure how "standard" the sizes were but hopefully you get lucky with a JY.
Even a piece of plexiglass could get you by until you get a proper replacement.
