The rear of the Z3 window is upright and has a rounded edge to match the hood but the 275 is strongly angled back and I need to fill the gap somehow. Thanks for your help.
Check 'Geoff's 250 SWB Replica Build' thread on the Tribute forum for a discussion around the same issue.

The short version is that the simplest and most cost effective solution is to go for a two-piece sliding perspex arrangement as per an awful lot of period race cars -



Good luck with your 275 project, the Z3 does appear to be a cheap, plentiful and versatile modern donor.
