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? _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

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. _________________ regards
