Backglass idea?

Luke(MI) · Jul 9, 2011

I got this idea the other day while looking at a rivited steel door, and I'm trying to think of a way to make it work and look awsome. I'm thinking of buying a sheet of thick-ish 3/8? tinted plexiglass and having it cut to the shape of my backglass, and instead of replacing the one side, sealing the plexiglass with clear RTV and "bolting" it to the rear of the cab with either 3/8" or 7/16" chrome self-tapping screws and rubber washers, or round headed bolts all the way through. I'd rather do the screws and find some round caps for them though I'd also like to get a debris screen that I can slip into place to keep rocks from breaking it again. What y'all think?

Um .. im not sure what to say .. I kinda dont get it .

A plexiglass window would be a nice replacement if it looked nice, just make sure its bolted on the inside as well so no one can brake in.

I would think it would need to be thicker than 3/8.

That would be cool to have it etched in there
