The rear window in my 1980
Burro 13 is has 3 panes and is the same size as yours. The 2 side ones are fixed and the middle one slides to the side. If you look carefully, you will see that both the front and rear of the Burro window mounting surfaces have a curve to them. The middle of the window bows out about 1.5 inches relative to the ends. Because of the bow, I do not think you will find a replacement window that will fit. New
windows will be flat unless you have something custom made and that will be very expensive. I could not find the same size even if it was a flat window.
I am replacing all the
windows in my Burro with crank out style
windows. When I purchased the replacements, I had to adjust the sizes to find something reasonable in price. The rear replacement is taller and has a little less width. It is also flat and will require considerable
fiberglass work to remove the bow from the window mounting surface and adjust the opening to the new window size.
I would not recommend the place that I purchased from because it took several months for delivery, much longer than I was quoted.
