    How straight is the top edge of the window? A piano hinge might offer benefits. A replacement window (not avoiding future breakage) is cheap in salvage yard. I paid under $200 for rear and two quarters to replace OEM clear with factory tinted. A good glass company can cut holes in the glass for hings/latch mounts. Thinking to do this with side quarter windows for side access like pick'emup toppers.

      that would be sweet, the top edge has a curve to it tho

    I like this idea . Maybe make a metal frame to go around the outside for more rigidity .

    Great idea. I'm putting plexiglass on the back of a Honda CR-V and the back door doesn't open anymore because of a car accident. This might be a good idea. It’s still a reliable vehicle but not worth investing in a new door and window.

    Hey Z, I think these should have been done b4 too like my Blazer's. I've seen vids about the side glass opening but not this back glass. Pretty sure Chevy uses a metal frame surrounding the glass. The 1 in my driveway uses steel, S10 Blazer. I wonder if that wouldn't stiffen yours enough to collapse that seal? Anyhow, I tried you on Instagram today. First name Jeff on my acct FYI. Hope to hear back from you.

    How much and how thick was the lexan? When I was pricing 1/4 lexan it was $240 for a 4x8 sheet
