Thanks. I'm still debating that, and it's gonna depend on what I end up using for the windshield. I don't know how well a wiper would do on Plexi. But, I'm considering having a glass shop actually make a custom windshield, in which case I'd have to figure out a wiper setup. I've heard that it's not difficult to grab a wiper out of a junk yard and install one.
I think a wiper would be fine on a medium grade Plexi. You would want that grade for winter use anyway, I don't think the low grade would hold very well. That said, if it were me I would look pretty hard at glass mostly from a visibility standpoint. It won't scratch like Plexi will so it will also clean much easier. Once that Plexi scratches cleanabilty is certainly reduced as well as visibility. For the back and sides I think Plexi would be fine . You might just find that the price difference between the higher grade Plexi and Safety Glass for the windsheild might be close. I'm not sure on that obviously you would have to price it out. But if it's close I'd think you would be happier with glass. MHO
