Hello, Real glass would be a structural benefit - I wonder did the build process include a mylar type film between two glass sheets for safety otherwise in an accident you'd have large glass shards coming at you - it's interesting because the original plexi/glass can be copied if intact by a simple 18 gage steel mold bent to accept temperature via placing 1/4 inch plexi/glass using an industrial heat gun  that heats about  400 deg F.  keeping some distance away  and fold to what you want  - then let cool - and by hand clamping gently the new form to the steel form and cutting around by hand using a 32 teeth per inch hack saw type blade - the heat gun is about $ 350.00 Canadian dollars.

            I had a crack  in my plexiglass rear screen so I recently decided to 

get a real glass one . With the lelp of Paul Crocker of the Marcos Club 

in England I had 3 made and shipped air freight. They all arrived 

unbroken. I plan to keep one as a spare but would like to sell the 

other one. My cost was $695.OO per screen(Shipping was expensive but 

worth it).

The sceen is in Colorado Springs so shipping from here would have to be 

calculated. The screen I put in my car had a couple of small scatches 

when the plastic protector was removed. The other may have this also. I 

don't plan to remove the plastic.

If anyone is interested let me know. My car is a 1970 3L Volvo.
