If just flat glass - then somewhere like Autoglass will cut them for you from laminated sheets. What are you doing about the windscreen - cutting down a normal (laminated!) screen ????

i had some new side windows for my van done by a mobile plant glazing fitter. He came out in his van, made a template of the aperture, cut the glass and fitted the two pieces in about 30mins. Think he charged about £40 too!
