The rear window is pretty much shot, scratched and faded. I read about the glass conversion somewhere and am considering this.

I have not. I will explore this possibility down the road when I get more serious about the rear window. The main priorities are 1) resolving the posterior to bolster interface issue and 2) addressing some confidence-killing attributes with handling/suspension.

FYI, yesterday I tried the McGuire's plastic headlight restoration kit on my badly yellowed/fogged rear window.
I had to drop to 400grit wet (hand) sanding to remove most all of the discoloration, which took quite a bit of effort.
Thereafter I went up through the grades, finishing with 5000grit before applying the supplied sealer coating.
After the 400grit subsequent wet sanding went very quickly with little effort.
What an amazing difference. Not as crystal clear as with a new window but now very good vision through it.
Have fun and enjoy your "new" Vette.
