Hi the sliding door glass are not bonded in they are hinged and can open your problem would be to find a glass panel that fits the opening
 
Yes, bonded glass replacements for sliding doors are quite popular, especially like the T5 conversions you mentioned. They give a cleaner, factory-style finish and allow for a central sliding window that improves ventilation without compromising strength. The key is having it done by professionals who use the right bonding materials and seals to prevent leaks or rattles. If you’re considering this type of upgrade, you can check out Warrior Windows and Doors for expert advice and reliable installation options. https://warriorwindowsinc.com/

I would be surprised if you could get one off the shelf as I have never seen one on an Elgrand and can't see that there would be much call for them but would possibly be able get one made although I would have thought it would not be cheap and if it was me I would want it exactly matching the factory tint which I am not sure could be done.

Most likely the best option would be to take the window out and take it to a glazier and ask there advice on whether they could make for you with the opening although I suspect that they will only want to supply the glass and leave you to source and fit the runners and bond it in your self

I do know that any standard black tinted glass designed for UK cars is unlikely to be as dark as the tint on the Elgrand from when I had mine limo tinted that they measured the level of tint and the front was over the legal limit for what is allowed on UK cars and they also told me that the rears were quite a bit darker than is typical on UK cars.

Also quite strange but the previous reply from dickgitmann is the 1st post by this poster who joined the forum at 6.22 and made his 1st post above at 6.24 who gives his address as Casa Grande which is in Arizona from a google search and the only Warrior Windows and Doors that I can find is in Australia and even if they made what you want which they do not would be a non starter due to location.

There is a Warrior Doors based in Birmingham which is the one that I think you have already found which again does not seem to be any use to you.
