Thank you for info. I have noted those ads. They say tempered glass while my original is laminated. Unfortunately cracked.

are you able to use the cracked one to make a pattern and have a new one cut?

Yes, the glue layer keeps the panel together. So where could a new one be cut and what would be the cost?

flat autoglas can be cut by just about any glass shop anywhere. Don't know where you are at in Sweden but i found 10 autoglass places in Stockholm, i bet one of them would do it.
