Steve has some good points. I think glass for the windows would be great....
but how will the cost versus plexi stack up? The high-tech products available
these days for cleaning & polishing plexi makes the maintenance issue a whole
lot more reasonable. Will the glass fit the existing rear rubber trim and
anodized side 1/4 window frames? Likely cost for these parts versus plexi?

Lee,
The back "glass" is, of course, plastic. Out of the restraining
frame,
and treated with sun and smog, it may not still be the correct shape.
Also be wary of the thicker glass (compared to plastic) may no longer
fit the rubber.
I purchased both the rubber and correctly form plastic from SS. HT55
($176.50), HT58 ($64.60), plus a lot of other hard top goodies fro both
the Tiger and the Alpine I-II hard tops.
