Replacing rear window

[xanf]

Hi! Unfortunately, today I came to my car which was parked in front of the building to find out my rear window is destroyed. It was either done on purpose (I think so) or was destroyed by out-of-energy bullet from our anti-air defences

Obviously, will contact lotus dealership, but it's literally thousand miles away (I'm in Ukraine) and they are not the fastest to either respond or ship (especially to Ukraine). Maybe there is other place to "buy" rear window and glue it?

I'm aware of JUBU replacement but I don't like carbon one

I'd be heart broken, very sorry to hear that, Really hope you get it sorted.
It doesn't look deliberate to me, as that would of looked like a crazed bullseye, and would of been done in the middle of the screen not just top & bottom.
I know some owners was having problems with the glass smashing on it's own, but I think that was the front windscreen, either way, I would of thought you could get it done under warranty, as looks like the same thing
Personally I'd just leave it as it is for now, perhaps put some carbon or shiny black tape across the top & Bottom.

It literally shattered (as expected for any glass) - so it is not impossible to "leave as it is for now"

Warranty unfortunately is not an option (I'm not bringing Ukraine-related stuff to this forum, let's keep it totally on-topic), since man are not allowed to leave the country so bringing car to the dealership sucks

Actually on CCTV it is visible that some man spends ~10 min around the car "looking at" at night, and when the sun rises the window is cracked. Unfortunately no details available. The crazy idea around that is that the end of the glass (not the top - the top shattered because there is some load) was heated with something like lighter. Whatever, it's already happened

I'll wait for dealer quote anyway, cause it seems that this part is nowhere on internet
