Sorry, can't edit posts anymore.
Plex-glass will scratch, yellow, and can shatter with sharp edges. Lexan can take a swing from a sledge hammer and dent but not break.

That difference is not cheap but lexan is worth it to only have to do the job once.

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

I currently have a cracked rear side window and am debating replacing it with dark tinted glass?
To save $ I might replace in pairs over time.

Smoked would be great for keeping the sun out. Not so sure you would like it on a rainy night or any night. Docking would be impossible! I almost always dock at night during the summer...my favorite time on the lake is late evening, so I stay out until the sun goes down. I would someday like to make custom fit window shades for all windows in the cabin, but I've been too busy keeping up with the major items as of late. Maybe one day I can get to the frou frou items one day.

Glass , Glass; Polarized if you can get it but dark tinted will do. Wouldn't waste my money on any plastic unless you are looking for a quick fix.
