I replaced my little rear window with a piece of Polycarbonate, and took out the plastic trim, so I can see better, and I'm impressed! You all know what it looks like, but here's a couple pics for comparison:
And here's what it looks like now!
I'm going to tint these with the stuff I do the big one, sides, and Moonroof, when it's all done. I left it high enough to meet the big window, when I make it come all the way back, over where the garnish, or spoiler goes. It's going to be sofa king cool!
P.S.
It's got tape in the corners, holding the bend while it cures. I used the same tape that I'm sending with the visors, and it takes 2 days to fully cure. Also, I'm going to take out the 3rd brake light, and put in a strip of LEDs, above the part you see through. AND, when I put in the big window, I'll be able to see through the black part around the edges, and where the wiper was.
Those powerlines tried to foil mw visor pics, too. I should cut them down. Also, the dude I got the car from tried to tint the window, and scratched it
wow i that that idea, tobad my back windows tinted really dark. but yea if i ever get the tint removed or window replaced i think i might try and do that

They are easy enough that I can make them for whomever wants them. I could do them for about $40 shipped to the U.S., maybe less. I can do various levels of tint, too, even custom colors (a red one would look awesome on a red car, and you could take the red cover off the brake light!).The hard part is getting your window out. I can send these with the double sided tape attatched so you just stick them on, and instructions how to get yours out without breaking it.
I decided to wait until I get the hatch from the group buy, and try to sell my metal one intact. I will put it on my worklog as soon as I do it, though. The lexan has been sitting behind my couch for a long time now.
What I assume I'll do is:
Make a template of the window, and cut the plastic with an inch all around, then heat it up a little, and bend it over the glass, and clamp it all over with rubber footed clamps, until it seems to be at the edge of breaking. Then I'll let it sit with hot halogen lamps on it, and heat blankets (if they seem to get hot enough). Then I'll come back and heat the sharpest bends with a propane torch, and clamp it more, repeating until it's the right shape. The guy at the plastics manufacturer said I could bend it cold into place, and rivet it, but I don't want that much tension in it.
