Backlight is the real name  for that piece of glass at the rear of the car.
The opposite of a windshield. It is tempered glass on most cars since the
late 50s, whereas the windshield is laminated glass.

This term is glass industry nomenclature.

People on this forum use "rear windshield", which doesn't make any sense
unless they drive in reverse all the time! ggg

"Rear windshield" would be more correct for the second windshield of a dual
cowl phaeton. Google that term if you haven't seen one.
