lexan rear window
Does anyone know where to get a Lexan bubble style rear window? I want to get rid of the heavy stock glass and also encorporate a sort of dry break system in the glass to fill the dry sump tank from outside but I can't find where to buy those..if they're even available. It's probably not too hard to make one by pulling a mold from the original glass but if I can just buy one that saves just so much more work.

look way at the bottom,there are 2 links, 1 for available models and 1 for pricing. Pretty reasonable prices also.

A kit for the whole car is about $1200. I wonder how much weight it saves and how well it fits. I have concerns about the visibility, also. It sounds like they are made primarily for racing and not for use on the street.

That's why I'm only interested in the rear..can't see jack through it anyway (I'll have it tinted very dark or DIY) and the fronts and sides are not dot legal so they have no markings and they check that kind of stuiff here ... otherwise I might have done all 4 because I don't have a front one (it cracked) and the sides aren't in perfect nick... but the rear glass is where most of the weight is in the 80-82 body, it's very heavy in the rear and featherlight in the front (firewall back)
