Are you resident in France?
If you have glass coverage on your policy let them source one.
BBC spares may be able to supply....

As Clive says and in that order. If really desperate order VOR from Toyota Japan, I was told about £450 about 4 years ago. Try a Toyota dealer in France to source it for you. There should be one in either AIX or Marseille.

i have just aquired a super custom hiace, the garage touching up the paint managed to do this for me, then i waited for 6 weeks for a new bit, but i was due to drive to carcassone, the vehicle was not tested and could not have been without the glass. i ended up driving down on the 1st of august in an escort without aircon, night mare we were all sick with the heat.
i would get a bit of perspex or lexan to get you back to blightly, ordering glass is hit or miss, it is uninsurable apparently........
