You need to create the backside with new faces, oriented the other way. Usually just copy object, reorient, merge with the old one. Now you have it two sided.

first cut the glass material and redo the body material what alberto says then save it load the orignal gmt again but then cut the body material and redo the glas material save it as the gmt ( name ) with an A behind then load both gmts and copy the GMT_A glass material into the original save gmt and object to the original gmt and its all okay
i do this in 3dsimed many times if i need to change materials or add different logo's etc

it works but it doesn't make sense that I have to export the new transparent part and inverted polygons and then import the newly created part to form the internal area of the car glass...
