I would suggest contacting lotusbits. I know they do new front, not sure about rear, but I would expect they have a used one.

I guess you mean rear screen rather than front windscreen?

Sorry.,I did mean the rear glass. The cracking occurred after I put the heated rear screen on to remove the condensation but it did not work. When I stopped and got out of the car the glass just shattered. I assume there must be something to do with the connection it a wiring fault. Will have to further investigate
