Not exactly, it is a difference of 1/4 at each upper corner, but it is
imperceptible when mounted. If you want I can take some pictures and send to
you. Not problem for cutting because is not tempered glass, it is laminated.
You need to cut with the diamond at both sides and after cut the middle
plastic with a razor.

Interesting. Did you get the curves you needed at the corners? I have seen
people cut the rear windows from glass before but the corners were always a
problem.
Any problem cutting that safety glass? Or did you have a shop di it?
