Good day,
Yes, the vega hatch is what a lot of people use. Sometimes you can find one with the glass and trim.

Because it used the same body as the Vega, the 1978 Monza S could also be used.

I have a nice rust free Vega hatch with glass that I will use someday. I bought it for $35.00. I always forget how cheap Chevy stuff is and how easy they have it.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Daytona/500 rear windows were factory stock from a van or something???? I may not be remembering correctly (?)

Incorrect

Chrysler did have the McGraw Glass plant in Detroit during that time.

Any relation?

I think Janak's kid sells plastic rear windows.

Stumbled across this while looking for a picture:

and the “distinctive rear window and ‘C’ pillar treatment featuring smooth, aerodynamic flow without tunnel roof effect.” The standard Charger rear glass was removed, and the inner sail panels and “Dutchman” panel at the base of the stock rear window opening were covered by a leaded-in steel body plug, before a differently shaped piece of glass was mounted. The new steel plug extended into the standard Charger’s trunk lid, so a smaller lid and opening were made to access the trunk.

Chris Birdsong documents the Vega window installation on his Daytona clone that's destined to be a dirt track racer.
It's on his "Junkerup" YouTube channel.
