Has anyone replaced there side windows in the rear of a hardtop with perspex or acrylic.
I broke one of mine the other night and thinking of getting a price on monday on some plastic to replace both of them, probably in tinted variety.
cheers

perspex the same thickness will flex too much and let air in i took both windows out and replaced them with 5mm aluminium worked well no flex and sealed perfectly

I need the passenger one. I beleive they might be identical both sides. I havnt matched them up yet.
I priced some perspex today, cut out to shape and holes in it for $68. that was for 4.5mm tinted ones. As i want to get the rear in tinted anyway.
cheers
