Default Mugen rear window

I need to replace the rear window for my mugen top and was wondering if anyone has done that. Is it possible to change it to glass? I was thinking of getting a sheet of lexan and cutting it to fit. Any suggestions?

Here's the Mugen replacement part number from King Motorsports:

73211-XGS-00S0 

But at $400+, I'm sure it's just as easy and much cheaper to make your own replacement window. I'm sure that generic seals are available as well.

Contact this guy he is on the board IIGQ4U. He makes replacement glass, he has the weather strip, everything you'll need.
I can assure you it's good stuff, I've bought it from him and have done mine the smoke color, and it looks and fits perfect.
If you can't get a hold of him let me know.

Is there a good way to clean the window? Would PlastiX work?

No....don't use anything that has any abrasives in it unless you have scratches in the window as it is.

Use a window cleaner that isn't amonia based (it'll haze the plastic over time). I use something I found at Target...it's a grapefruit based window cleaner and sanitizer.

Toothpaste is also abrasive. When dealing with abrasives, you need to know how abrasive it is because you can input even deeper scratches than may already be present.

LOL ok so what do I use then? It's not really bad but kinda whiteish and it's not scratched. I don't think it's worth replacing yet.
