Default *WINDOW EXPERTS* Need help installing rear plexiglass window into custom backing!!

Ok, I have a custom back on my car which requires a certain size cut of plexiglass.

I have this plexiglass cut, and shaped ready to go into the car.


My question is... whats the best method for sticking it in there?

Using like a window urethane and surrounding the edges then holding it there with painters tape over night?


Could you guys tell me what you think so I can do it myself instead of paying a shop to do it!!


thanxa lot!

I would use lexan instead of plexiglass. Much stronger and wont get all scratched up easily.
That being said, if the lexan is thick enough you might be able to get away
with just window caulk, but i would also use rivets or screws to hold it.
