Vauxhall Vectra B - rear windscreen - barter

Hi All long time reader first time poster, have come up with an issue i hope your advice can solve for me...stupidly last night whilst taking a mattress to my girfriends house i shut the boot(i have an estate) and popped the rear windscreen out, it appears that it needs regluing, i rang autoglass who wanted to charge £100 for the pleasure so does anybody know what type of glue i would need or where i could get it from?

I suspect the glass is a structural part of the tailgate so needs glueing properly.

Walk in to your local car glass repairer, AutoGlass or there are others, and ask one of the technicians "how much for cash".

had a result - some local firm will do it for £45 inc call out, it would have worked out cheaper to stick a brick through the window and claim on insurance than get Autoglass to re-glue it.....madness uh!!
