The front and rear glass on a car are both called "windshields" and have been for many decades. Call up an auto glass service and ask for a quote to have your "rear window" replaced, and they'll ask which side. Tell them you need your rear windshield replaced and they'll know what it is.

The Brits call windshields "windscreens".

It's been over a dozen posts and nobody has called the cop a jack-booted thug yet.

Odd.

If you want to be picky about it, the proper term for the rear glass on an auto is "backlight".
