Citycab glasses were just free formed so only heating in a oven it its frame. It took many test pieces before that rear glass got perfect shape because there was not that tooling under it. I think those had E marks needed in Europe, but the price is very expensive if they are willing to manufacture them.

Those glasses were made at Pilkington Laitila factory:

In Finland you are able to legal permit in some cases to use something that is not sertified / verified glasses. Specially if the case is good and it project has clear purpose.
