Geez, it pains me to read about a shattered rear window, especially when replacement is not available.
Sorry you have to deal with this.
Nothing to do with this incidence of hardtop rear window glass breakage, but for those that do not know, it is a major no no to ride around with the hardtop's rear window in the open position.
Sure, you see people doing it, but over the years it has been reported....forum posts ... saying the window exploded/shattered when someone was driving down the road with the rear window raised. Raised just for the hell of it, raised so the 2x4's they bought at Lowe's could stick out, etc..
If the open rear window lets say tweaks/twists just a little bit, it is prone to shattering...... this is not exclusive to the Jeep Wrangler. Applies to most any vehicle with a rear window / hatch type window that can be left open while driving. Best bet, don't do it..
