Rear window replacement?
My awesome hubby busted out my back window and I REALLY don't want a Franken Jeep. Is it possible to replace the back window? Well, probable, I know anything is possible. Or is it just easier to take the hatch off a donor? I'm leaning more towards plexi glass but what do I know, I'm just a woman

Go to any glass shop and have it replaced you will never know it from the original........and the paint will match.
I used Plexiglas in my race cars for weight savings and I will tell you that you don't want those problems that come with it. Plus and mine was never exposed to the weather.

Yeah have a glass shop replaced it.Plexiglass is a nightmare on a street car,It will get a cloudy looking haze from the sun and it scratches easy.After a year it will be hard to see out of it.

Seriously, listen to these two...Plexi simply isn't worth it on a street car...and the glass shops are probably going to be reasonably priced since that piece is relatively flat.
