I installed a glass rear window in my old Tiger. It was pretty heavy 
virtually ensuring the top removal / installation was a two person job. But 
it looked nice and I didn't have to worry about scratches. It was a front 
windshield from an early  Nova, or so the person who sold it to me said. It 
was cut down to fit. The curvature was very close but not exact. I wrote a 
tech tip which is in the TEAE Survivor manual on how to install the glass. 
Pretty much like you would install the plexi as well.
