Does anybody know where to buy?

Previous owner installed them in my mini, and I'm looking to buy another pair if I can find a supplier.

Thanks in advance

Do you mean the late model tinted ones ?

I think it's just like standard rear quarter glass that has been tinted during the glass manufacturing process instead of having a layer of film tint applied.

I found something similar on minispares UK, but I don't think it's the same thing I'm after.

Excuse my naivety, but how difficult is it to remove and refit the chrome from the rear quarter glass without damaging it? Or would that be something that a glass supplier could do with minimal effort?

I have a bunch of rear side windows in the dungeon, I will look see if any are tinted. I did have an LS heated rear window too so here's hoping.

So that's where they all are. :-)
I'd have to agree they're not really scarce.
