Looking for a Tiger rear hardtop window. Does anyone sell, or have one
made of glass? If a glass one isn't avaiable who makes the best fitting
"formed" plastic window? Thanks, David Franchi

David,

At one time there was reported to be a custom cut glass rear window made
from a Corvair windshield (you can't trim tempered glass used in side
and back windows). To my knowledge these are unavailable, at least my
search was fruitless.

SS had a very nice plastic version that installed well and looks good.
With care it ought to last, and a LOT lighter than glass would be.

Let me know if you get a source that actually has them available.

It wasn't a Corvair, but it was some other Chevy. The problem was that
99.9% of them had the antenna in the glass, which looked sorta weird.
And the cutting was not always successful. Steve Finberg wrote an
article about this for TE/AE a bunch of years back.

I recall reading (IIRC) that article and the subject car was a 1975-1979 Nova;
I only recall that because I once owned one.
