Hey guys, long story short - vandals have smashed the rear window of my car Last night and I really can't afford to have it replaced. Am I able to get a Perspex sheet and make one? Is it easy and is it legal? I need to sort this or I can't go to Retro Show  |

Rear should be fine. Does your insurance not cover it?
What car is it?

No it doesn't as I'm only 3rd party It's a Renault 5 which is just a plain flat, square piece of glass! |

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Seen plenty of road-legal track cars with poly/lexan rear windows, you should be fine. Just don't buy anything too thick/heavy.
Flat rear windows are a godsend, I recall a mate drunkenly breaking the rear window of his Talbot Samba by falling onto it. He just slotted in a sheet of ply, painted it to match the car and ran around like that for about 6 months. That was back in '92 though, plod couldn't care less.

I wouldn't have thought that the window would be expensive? Surely you could scrounge up a used one from a wreckers yard for very little money?

£112 for a new one fitted, but I've found a whole tail gate on ebay for £50 delivered! God send
Cheers guys!
