Default any car glass fitters on here

hi, as above, are there any glass fitters on here particularly local to me? im in derby, 5minutes from j26 m1 or 10 mins from j28 m1. I'm led to believe my rear window seal has gone. have water dripping in on the near side of the boot, dripping down the suspension strut tower. I've researched the issue on here and it seems the rear window seal is a common fault.

thanks

It leaked because it was not fitted correctly.
