Lexan/Plexi rear 1/4 Windows?

[nicadimus at hotmail.com (Eli Risch)]

Perhaps bake it at a low med temp then remove and lay on top of the OEM 
glass to attain the form. I haven't worked plexi on that large of scale but 
that method works well for 8.5"x11"x1/8"(3/8") and smaller stuff I have 
played with (I made blackouts for MKI headlights). usually around 200 
degrees makes plexi plyable but stil firm. I have seen folks use heat guns 
to make plexi shapable, but to close with the gun and the plexi burns & 
bubbles and you have to start over. remove the protective film for appliying 
heat, otherwise you get a useless mess.
