Default Kiwi Barners Glass Replacement

I broke the bottom of my original drivers window on my 49 F1 pickup from which I can create a template. A local (Wellington) auto glass shop can cut a replacement. However, I am told the edging will not be the original rounded profile, but more straight cut on top with two angled bevels.
Does anyone know a local or NZ supplier who can do this? I am keen to keep my pickup original and understand overseas suppliers don't ship glass internationally.
Thanks
Martin

I,m not in NZ but central QLD,i tried the local chain windscreen place,they did a just about OK job on the side window of our 33,I then found out the local hotrod guy owns a glass and screen door shop,he did a first class job,so maybe try one of them.
