Just about every aftermarket Land Rover parts dealer has them in stock, you can even get them with new glass.
Hope this helps.

i did not read that the tailgate (upper) was rusted? i would just try to adjust it 1st if your tail gate is not rusted out. my dads 91 and my 93 has had issues w/ the tailgate needing an adjustment. they make alum tailgates that i have heard to work good. next time i will get an alum one. i have a nice upper tailgate from my dads 91 that i will sell. no brake light.
