Originally the thought of having that very thin piece of plastic between me and the engine didn’t set well. Then there was the matter of heat and noise, not that I don’t love the sound but it would have been a bit much after hours on the road. So before I ever drove the car I replaced the thin plastic window with a piece of ½” Lexan. Everything was fine until I had to keep cleaning the engine side of the window and worried about the engine heat and scratches. My solution was to add a safety glass window on the engine side of the window opening. I was lucky enough to pick up an extra window frame hoping it would fit. Well it does with the removal of the bottom tab. So now I have a piece of safety plate glass on the engine side and Lexan on the passenger side. From the inside of the car you would never know it was there. Only when you open the rear clip and look would you ever see it. It looks like it's always been there. Sorry my cell phone doesn't take the best pictures.
