Has anybody done plexi glass for their windows? I shattered my rear hatch shield on the trail and want to try something different. Getting a new hatch anyways.

Plexi glass also scratches easier.

Yeah, Lexan is the best, but you don't want to use the rear wiper or wipe the mud off it with a rag, so what is the point?

Rear wiper really doesnt work. Well and im just using the plexi on my broken hatch. because its impossible to put glass in it now. So i willl have 2 hatches a plexiglass one and a normal one. Just wondering what all the issues with it and advantages were. thanks!
