New glass or Perspex bug rear screen

[vwhelmot]

So.....  to cut a long story short I've managed to buy all the glass Barr the rear screen for my project car. It seems that only new heated screens are available and clear ones are not made anymore??!!  I need a really good scratch free screen for a 65 bug, I will even consider Perspex but prefer glass.
Anyone got a new screen available?
Cheers

Paul Woodhead at direct plastics will do a very good quality Perspex/lean piece.
No idea on clear glass though

Does he supply just flat sheets of Perspex because as you know the rear is a compound curve and would be next to impossible to fit if it was just flat!

He supplied the lexan for Steve and Adeles outlaw flat four race car (and other race cars)
Give him a call. My oval used a flat piece of lexan for rear screen

There's enough flex in Paul's windows to cope with the curve. Although my '66 was chopped it took a stock rear screen, and Paul supplied a piece to do it. Took a lot of trimming to fit but it went in! I don't think I'd want to do it to a freshly painted car though.

Thinking about it, could you get an original rear screen polished? Start quite abrasive and work through to better than factory?

I`ve managed to find a supplier who can pre shape Perspex with a hard coating applied. Its expensive but hopefully it will look fine. Cheers
