Does anyone make a lexan, or lightweight rear window kit for the 68 notchback barracuda?
I have a glass one, just not sure I want to install it. Or if it will go in without breaking.....

The guy who installed my cage also installed all glass including front and rear plexiglass using flat sheets. Still going good after more than 22 years.

Did he install Plexiglass or Lexan?
I hate to see Plexiglas in any car do to scratching and going hazy quickly down
Lexan, especially aircraft quality, is way better on safety and seeing through as well as easy scratch removal with a good plastic polish wrench

I'm sure it was lexan. After all these years it is not as nice as it was when new but it is still usable. There's only one track where glare bothered me and I've raced at a bunch.

I’d do the stock glass, weight in the back. After putting up with ‘plastic’ I’d do front too, many good points!
